It's kinda fascinating that GDC/MinGW seems to work for some
real world applications.
I haven't really tried a "real world application" as of yet;
mostly small puzzle-type problems to get a feel for D.
I did run into a problem with this code:
int answer = to!(int[])(split("7946590 6020978")).sum;
It compiles fine under DMD but gives the error "Error: no
property 'sum' for type 'int[]'" with GDC.
Then 10x larger binaries are indeed caused by debug info. If
you don't need the debug info you can use the included
strip.exe to remove it:
strip.exe yourapp.exe
Yes, that helps. My exe went from 6.9MB to 1MB. The DMD exe is
370K.
