If you're on linux, you can try Dustmite using timeout command to
launch dmd compilation.

Recently I had a bug where the compiler got stuck in an
infinite loop or something. I managed to bracket it with static
if (0) and it turned out that I had intended to declare a
template method
auto ref foo (Bar)() {...}
but accidentally left off the function parameters
auto ref foo (Bar) {...}
and dmd never gave an error message, it just kept chugging
along till I killed it.
I can't manage to reproduce it in an SSCCE, it was nested
inside a few layers of mixins (dumbly layering mixins in an
example doesn't reproduce it).
And reducing the code with DustMite depends on the compiler
outputting an error message.
Is there anything I can do to produce some information for a
meaningful bug report in a situation like this?
