Is there a straightforward way to figure out how much memory the

So this isn't a great solution but what I have done in the past is just
have a little script running
ps aux | grep dmd
sleep 1 # or whatever time you want
in a loop running in the background to gather some data as it goes. If
combined with dmd -v you can interpolate the -v and ps output to get an
idea of what the memory use is at a certain point of what the compiler
is working on.
again i know it isn't great but it is easy to play with and better than
nothing
Yeah, I started trying out valgrind, which seems to give a decent
report. It slows down the compiler a bit, but that's ok.
In any case, I realized that I need to write some more targeted tests,
because the template I want to replace is used all over the place, so I
would need to change them all in order to reduce memory usage.
