i already posted this in the d NG:
I gave beta 3 on my win32 dev machine a try today and noticed that building vibe.d (a dependancy in almost all my projects) takes noticeably longer to built. observing the process shows that beta3 consumes almost 1.5GB of RAM while dmd 2.064 'just' uses 1GB.I am not so familiar with the compiler code and what could be causing this ? can anyone else confirm this ?
I did notice some out-of-memory errors for projects that compiled fine
before, so that's probably the same cause. But I didn't do anything
because I was (and still am) busy with other compiler regressions.If the D NG post doesn't result in a solution, I think a regression bug
report may be in order. DMD's memory usage has always been quite high
and if anything, it must do down, not up. It's already been a constant
fight for me to somehow get the bigger projects with Diet templates to
build over the last 1.5 years and a sudden degradation by 150% is a lot.
Problem is that I get this degradation even with the simplest hello world vibe.d application without using ANY diet templates. this must be addressed befor the next dmd release, letting this sneak in and wait another 4months for the next release would be a disaster
