you still can do manual memory management with `malloc()` and
friends. but you must be very cautious with dynamic arrays and
slices. may be your best bet is to not use built-in dynamic
arrays at all and write a replacement class with manual memory
management. ah, and the same for AAs.
it's possible, if somewhat cumbersome. and you can use 'dmd
-vgc' to check for hidden allocations. so it may be not as
simple as adding some compiler switch, but still not that hard
too.
For manually managed arrays, containers, I would recommend the
emsicontainers (https://github.com/economicmodeling/containers)
