Issue ID: 19535
Summary: Enable GC in compiler
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86_64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd

The compiler currently has a major memory strategy of allocate-and-never-free.
Partly because of this, it often requires very large amounts of RAM to compile
things.
The compiler's not ready to just flip the switch and enable garbage collection,
so this will take some doing.
1. Add a makefile flag to build with GC enabled. This will make testing easier.
2. Build a lot of code (eg every version of every dub project) with this
compiler.
3. Track down related bugs.
4. Fix them.
