Description kai 2012-10-30 04:45:29 UTC 
I am using head version of DMD. While compiling druntime on Windows (32 bit) I get the following error:

dmd -c -w -o- -Isrc -Iimport -Dfdoc\core_memory.html -version=CoreDdoc src\core\
memory.d
(16): Error: unterminated character constant
(39): Error: unterminated character constant

Both lines are in a comment. Maybe something wrong with DDoc generation?

During the compilation of DMD/druntime/Phobos there are other things that pop up:

make clean
del ..\..\lib\cppunit.lib
Can't find C:\dmd2\src\dmd\src\cppunit-1.12.1\lib\cppunit.lib


dmc -c -Iroot;\dm\include -o   -cpp -DDM_TARGET_CPU_X86=1  dsymbol
            else if (ce->type && (t = ce->type->toBasetype()) &&
                                                               ^
dsymbol.c(1351) : Warning 2: possible unintended assignment
                if ((t = e->type->toBasetype()) && t->ty == Tfunction)
                                                                     ^

I can recreate the bug with DMD 2.060.

Anyway it is related to ddoc, git head stack trace:
