Hello.

I'm trying to invoke a command inside d, and it returns a success code
when the command in question segfaults.

any ideas?

// the caller
import std.process;

int main(){
      auto r = system("./test");
      return(r);
}


//test.d
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
      Object o;
      writeln(o.toString());
}

It's a null dereference.  What you're doing is essentially

   Object o = null;
   writeln(o.toString());

I believe his problem is that the return code of the caller indicates  
success.

Could it be perhaps that it can't possibly get at that status?  Remember,  
system runs /bin/sh -c, so all you can get as status is the return code of  
/bin/sh (which didn't segfault).
