Is there a way to check in code whether a specific flag, -dip1000 in my case, was passed to the compiler?

Most command line arguments that are detectable set a version, e.g. D_Coverage, unittest, assert,D_BetterC. I don't see dip1000 in LDC's list of version statements.

You could do a !__traits(compiles, { something forbidden by dip1000} );

For reference and completeness, a simple example:

```d
void main()
{
    enum isDIP1000 = __traits(compiles, () @safe {
         int x;
         int* p;
         p = &x;
    });
    pragma(msg, isDIP1000);
}
```

-dip1000: https://run.dlang.io/is/1yJfVQ
