Optlink crash on Windows

[mbierlee]

When including SCOD into DUB's template project (dub init), I get a linking error when running dub run -b ddox:

---------------------------
Unexpected OPTLINK Termination at EIP=0040F60A
---------------------------
EAX=051E0000 EBX=00438C70 ECX=0000048D EDX=0000033D 
ESI=00006400 EDI=051E2DCC EBP=0019FF38 ESP=0019FEF0

---------------------------

Linking...
Error: linker exited with status 17571584
dmd failed with exit code 1.

This happens with DMD32 v2.072.2 and v2.073.1. Haven't tried the versions inbetween but I suppose they also fail. This is on Windows. The build is fine when I remove SCOD. I can imagine the problem lies with the linker instead of the library.

Why did you list it as dependency? Is there a use-case as library?
It's intended to be used as separate binary tool, see README.md.

By including I meant adding it to the dub file as instructed: "-ddoxTool": "scod"

Happens with the latest version of optlink 8.00.17.
sha1sum a7d9f1e810d1c548d57d2e0d62313c6b619e7556 optlink.exe

Unfortunately not enough time to build and debug optlink.
As a workaround it's possible to build a release version of scod (debug infos seem to crash the linker) or use dmd with mscoff32/64 and the MS VC Linker.

Quite weird that ddox itself builds, there is very little source code in here :/.
Also updating to ddox 0.16.0 (see #5) might somehow make the problem go away 🙏.

Unfortunately still crashes after the update to ddox 0.16.0 :/.
