I get error message from linker
```
windows.lib(core_1dba_4299.obj) : fatal error LNK1377:
'_D7windows5win322ui5shell15NOTIFYICONDATAW6__initZ' symbol not
found in object. The containing library is corrupt.
Error: linker exited with status 1377
```
So I have the folowing code
```
shared class MessageLoop
{
private bool createTrayIcon()
{
NOTIFYICONDATAW nid; // This causes error LNK1377
NOTIFYICONDATAW nid = NOTIFYICONDATAW(); // this is OK
// Fill and use nid here
}
private NOTIFYICONDATAW nid; // this is OK
}
NOTIFYICONDATAW nid; // this is OK
```
NOTIFYICONDATAW is just plain simple struct, nothing special
```
version(X86_64)
{
struct NOTIFYICONDATAW
{
uint cbSize;
HWND hWnd;
uint uID;
NOTIFY_ICON_DATA_FLAGS uFlags;
uint uCallbackMessage;
HICON hIcon;
wchar[128] szTip;
NOTIFY_ICON_STATE dwState;
NOTIFY_ICON_STATE dwStateMask;
wchar[256] szInfo;
union
{
uint uTimeout;
uint uVersion;
}
wchar[64] szInfoTitle;
NOTIFY_ICON_INFOTIP_FLAGS dwInfoFlags;
GUID guidItem;
HICON hBalloonIcon;
}
}
```
defined in static library.
Is this a bug?
