Hi,
I have recently opened [this
PR](https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/14382) to change
`_d_arraysetassign` to a template. It has caused [this builkite
failure in
vibe-d](https://buildkite.com/dlang/dmd/builds/27898#0182f34a-7f4a-49f9-8b93-01e5ba42998b). I am able to reproduced it locally, but I am unable to debug it.
Being a backend error, the `Symbol` struct doesn't seem to store
precise information about the line and file from where that
symbol comes. I have used `Symbol.lposscopestart`, but that only
tells where the symbol was created. In my case, it was created
here: `phobos/std/typecons.d(6822)`, but this doesn't provide me
with too much info.
How would you debug this? Do you have any "tips" for debugging
the backend? I'd also like to build vibe-d without dub so I can
trace the compiler directly. How can I do this?
Thanks for the help,
Teodor
