No, this happens when you don't link the static library defining 
the struct. And the static init symbol for that struct (defined 
in the static lib) is needed because it's not zero-initialized, 
due to the static `wchar` arrays. druntime initializes them with 
0 for its definition of the `NOTIFYICONDATAW` struct: 
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/940287bf502969bdb3150946f1c9c402faef0880/druntime/src/core/sys/windows/shellapi.d#L232-L256; it's still not zero-initialized though, because druntime initializes the `cbSize` member.
