800k lines of code! Wow. Is this also how big the DMD frontend
is?
No, Dscanner says the current ddmd frontend is about 84 klocs of
D code, and I found last year that about 63 klocs of that was
used by ldc, so that's what's really needed:

I don't think this patch would be using the ddmd frontend though,
as gdc was still using the older C++ frontend last I heard, but
without having looked at the patch at all, the big difference is
probably that they're counting druntime and phobos also, and
misrepresenting that as part of the frontend.
