+1. Ironically, dmd itself is pretty care-free about allocating memory (in the name of compile speed -- after all, everybody has GBs of RAM to spare, but nobody wants to wait, right?). As a result, I cannot compile even simple programs on a low-memory system because the compiler runs out of memory and crashes before it can finish compiling. What good is a super-fast compiler that cannot finish compiling before it uses too much memory? Because of this, I have not dared to introduce D to my colleagues -- if they see what dmd does on the kind of low-memory embedded systems that we work on, they'd get such a bad impression of D they'll never ever want to hear about it again. :-/ T -- Verbing weirds language. -- Calvin (& Hobbes)
