I am running out of memory trying to generate CTFE code. It is
quite large generation but just repetitive loop acting on an
array item.
Surely 16GB should be enough to compile such a thing? I am using
64-bit dmd. It climes to about 12GB then eventually drops down to
around 1GB and then back up to 16GB and then quits.
I cannot generate the array in parts and stick them all together
because they are all interdependent(but not much, nothing that
should actually cost memory).
Seems that dmd not freeing up memory for speed is gonna start
causing problems with complex template generation.
Is there any way to fix this? A special switch that will enable
the compiler to reduce memory consumption(free unused stuff) or
use the swap file?

At the very least have something to give feedback on how to
reduce memory consumption. Leaving things up in the air for
programmers to stumble upon after a lot of work is not good.
On the "Error: Out of Memory" at least report some statistics on
functions and lines and how much memory they have used and how
many times they have been called.
