malloc error when trying to assign the returned pointer to a struct field

I do have the following struct:
```d
struct Vec(T) {
private:
T* _ptr = null; // The pointer to the data
u64 _cap = 0; // Total amount of elements (not bytes) we can
store
public:
/* Create a vector by just allocating memory for it. The null
terminator is not set for
strings as, the vector is considered empty and we should
first push something to it
in order to use it! */
this(i64 size) {
this._len = 0;
this._cap = size;
static if (is(T == char)) { size += 1; } // Additional space
for the null terminator
this._ptr = cast(T*)malloc(size);
}
}
```
That's some minimal code that I do have just to showcase it. So,
some times, this work will works, some others, it will give me
the following error:
`Fatal glibc error: malloc.c:2594 (sysmalloc): assertion failed:
(old_top == initial_top (av) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned
long) (old_size) >= MINSIZE && prev_inuse (old_top) && ((unsigned
long) old_end & (pagesize - 1)) == 0)`
The problem seems to happen when the pointer that is returned
from `malloc` is assigned to the `_ptr` field. If I just assign
it to a variable and don't assign anything to `_ptr`, it will
work!
Is there any possible that there is a compiler bug? I do use ldc2
and `betterC`!
