The problem with benchmarks optimized for D is that they generally make little to no allocations, which makes them a bad candidate for memory allocation statistics. If you take a look at the code you'll see that they often allocate like crazy.

I'm not sure what you mean by GC intensive. Most of high perf D programs would have been optimized to reduce GC usage to begin with. this is precisely the issue I'm having finding any GC intensive D programs.

I'm looking for real world D programs to help collect statistics. Here's mine, although it hasn't been updated for a year: https://bitbucket.org/infognition/undup It creates a lot of small objects in GC heap when it makes a drive scan. Due to some conservativeness of D GC and interlinkedness of object graph in this program, GC couldn't free memory properly and I had to make the process restart after user ends working with one set of data (drive scan) and returns to main window. It's a GUI tool for Windows, you won't build it on other OSs. Works fine in Wine on Linux though.

DDMD :D You would have to do some digging to get it working with the GC, but a combined compilation of phobos + some CTFE heavy project (eg something that uses ctRegex a lot) would be highly stressful to any GC.

I'm looking for real world D programs to help collect statistics. At the moment I'm using Higgs but I'm pretty sure a lot of effort has gone into avoiding the GC in Higgs.

Looking for GC intensive D programs
Does anyone know of any GC intensive D programs that can preferably be ran with little to no setup?
