So, I'm writing a poker AI bot. The idea was to generate a lookup table
of all the poker hands using CTFE so runtime can be as quick as possible
(as the bot has a very small amount of time to act).
There are a LOT of calculations though, many millions of combinations.
During complation, this is consuming inordinate amounts of memory, 16GB+
(which is all the RAM on my machine + some swap space).
I'm wondering is there any techniques to freeing some memory used by the
compiler so it can be reused?
Are malloc and free usable at compile time maybe?
Another possibilty I was looking at was to write a tool that will spit
out all combinations at runtime, and then import these back into the bot
at compile time to build a lookup table that way.
Thanks!
My recommendation is to pregenerate this with a separate file.
So generator.d -> mydata.d
Since mydata.d won't need to be updated often, only recompile it
shouldn't be an issue.
