dmd has this in the help
-gf emit debug info for all referenced types
I dont know why that made it work, I feel like -g should have
still made it at least recognizable for a debugger but it didn't
think it was compiled with debug info. My suspicion is it
compiled debug info for the import .lib but not for the DLL
itself and -gf forced it to do the dll too. But I haven't
confirmed that.
