this is with lcd 1.2, but same issue when using dmd (for both girtod ans asgen)

Weird, I'll try to reproduce this somehow...

[ximion]

This was broken at gtkd-developers/gir-to-d@88dc63a in GirToD

[ximion]

I found two issues here and reported them upstream: gtkd-developers/gir-to-d#3 and gtkd-developers/gir-to-d#4
As soon as the former is fixed, you should be able to build asgen again (maybe download the tarball again, I was evil and moved the git tag).
The latter issue seems to only affect the Git master branch.

I also switched the CI to use GirToD from upstream, instead of my forked branch, so we will catch any future issues quickly now.

[ximion]

The bug is fixed in GirToD, and in any case, it isn't an issue in asgen.
Hope this works again now :-)

[ximion]

All GirToD issues were fixed now and I can confirm the patched version works as expected.
