(Sorry, for the German!)

I tried to narrow the location of the failure and I suppose that the error occurs within gc_term(). If I omit this call the application ends without problems.
Comment 1 Witold Baryluk 2010-01-28 21:18:12 UTC 
Why are you calling gc_term? It is function which shutdowns garbage collector (and deallocate everyobject). Doing it manually is really really wrong.
Comment 2 Stefan Liebig 2010-01-28 21:59:16 UTC 
Hmm, but in the documentation (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/windows.html) they do a call to gc_term() just before returning from WinMain().
Comment 3 Stefan Liebig 2010-01-28 23:30:56 UTC 
BTW, this crash only happens on Win 7 64-bit - not on Win 7 32-bit.
Comment 4 Brad Roberts 2011-02-06 15:39:17 UTC 
Mass migration of bugs marked as x86-64 to just x86.  The platform run on isn't what's relevant, it's if the app is a 32 or 64 bit app.
Comment 5 Yao Gomez 2012-02-05 13:49:51 UTC 
Marking this bug as D1 only, as the OP used the example from the D1 Windows page (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/windows.html). This example doesn't even compile with D2.

On a semi-related note, the example in the D2 Windows page (http://dlang.org/windows.html) compiles and links just fine. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.
Comment 6 Mathias LANG 2018-10-19 04:44:44 UTC 
Since this is Windows and D1 only, it's 100% unsupported and unused nowadays. Closing.
