Now that the compiler is completely in D, wouldn't it be a good idea to activate the GC in the compiler. I know that it requires some care for bootstrapping the compiler when there are dependencies to the D runtime, but the compiler would be an excellent example of the advantage of the GC (i.e. dumb fast allocations as long as there's memory, collection when no memory left which is miles away better than to get OOM-killed).
No, that would be a bad idea currently. https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18811
