my question is if there thing i can do with dmd only and visa

what the feature of one of them over the other?
what the different between them in term of inline assembly,
performance, platform and bugs?
They share the frontend, i.e. language support is pretty much the
same.
dmd's backend is limited both in terms of performance and platform
support (x86 only), but it compiles D code faster.
gdc inherits gcc's sophisticated optimizer capabilities, but may
have unique bugs in its glue code.
gdc also inherits gcc's multiplatform support, together with platform
specific optimizations common to all gcc-based compilers.
I note that gdc is completely free software but dmd runtime is not. An
alternative is ldc, also free.
Huh? Surely you mean the DMD back end? Everything else is either GPL
or Boost.
Yes, sorry.
