On my (high-mem) home PC, it does help to reduce the memory footprint somewhat. But unfortunately, not enough to make compilation work on the low-mem systems on all except the most trivial of programs. So still no-go. > Is -betterC any better? ;) [...] Have not tried. Maybe I'll give it a shot when I have some time. I'm not a fan, though. Using -betterC loses some of the key advantages D offers over C, and would probably not be incentive enough for my colleagues to consider adopting D. (We had tried C++ before and given up on it, so whatever is going to displace C in this space better offer a LOT more than C++ ever did. Simply being yet another variant of C isn't going to cut it.)
