I'm on a Win64 machine and compiling Win32 works fine. I'm
using Visual Studio 17 Community with Visual D. DMD is up to
date as is Visual D.
I added a x64 "solution platform" to the configuration manager
which added a -m64 flag to my linker options. I'm not sure what
else I'm meant to do to get it to compile as x64?
I'm not sure why its trying to use opt link for 64-bit, the
linker banner gives a hint:
OPTLINK (R) for _Win32_.
64 bit should use MS's linker, is -m64 only passed to the linker
but not the compiler?
