How do I get dmd's memory usage a few hundred MBs down?
I keep having to close everything in order not to get an out of memory error
while compiling (-w -full).
I'd like to get it from 700-800 to below 400 :)
Any way to inspect which part is the biggest drain?
CTFE and templates will use up the most memory - particularly if you use
a lot of strings, as the memory allocated is never freed. You can work
around it be compiling files one at a time or a few at a time, so
instead of:
$ dmd file1.d file2.d
Use:
$ dmd -c file1.d
$ dmd -c file2.d
$ dmd file1.o file2.o
Note if you're doing this you may like to look into the -op option to
avoid object file conflicts which will lead to linker errors.
