Or the compiler would run out of memory before it gets to optimizing
away those assignments, so it would just outright crash. I ran your code
on my computer and got this:
uncaught exception
core.exception.AssertError@src/dmd/common/outbuffer.d(204): OutBuffer:
out of memory.

??:? _Z11ElfObj_termPKc [0x5616e933bcd6]
Aborted
Which seems to confirm my suspicions.
