Description Bolpat 2016-11-30 01:42:58 UTC 
The following lusting generates a OPTLINK error.

    void[0] Dummy1;
    void f(ref void[0] x) { }
    void main()
    {
        f(Dummy1);
        
        static void[0] Dummy2;
        f(Dummy2);
    }

It does not occur when a local void[0] is passed to f or the parameter is not ref.
For Dummy1 it does not matter wether it is static or not.

This produces the error:

OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 8.00.17

http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/optlink.html
bug4.obj(bug4)  Offset 0026DH Record Type 009D
 Error 16: Index Range
Error: linker exited with status 1

which looks like a corrupt object file being passed to it.
