Is anyone there looked how msvc for example compiles really
big files ?
I never seen it goes over 200 MB. And it is written in C++,
so no GC.
And compiles very quick.
and it has no CTFE, so...
CTFE is a big black hole that eats memory like crazy.
I'm going to propose again the same thing as in the past :
- before CTFE switch pool.
- CTFE in the new pool.
- deep copy result from ctfe pool to main pool.
- ditch ctfe pool.
Wait, you mean DMD doesn't already do something like that? Yikes.
I had always assumed (without looking) that ctfe used some
separate heap that was chucked after each call.
