I'm currently experiencing Out Of Memory errors when compiling in DMD on Windows

Has anyone found a way to compile a DMD x86_64 compiler on Windows?

For example, here:

I think this might be about the -m64 option in the d compiler.

I'm actually having the Out Of Memory error with the -m64 option, because DMD crashes at 4gb of ram

What I need is DMD compiled with 64 bit pointer size

Memory overuse is usually reported as a bug in the compiler.

I've been having this same issue.
Over-use of CTFE is what's causing it on my part, to fix it, I've had to split my CTFE functions out into a seperate runtime tool (to make use of GC goodness. See people, GC is good! :))

The tool will print the code that my CTFE functions would normally generate to a file, and then use import to get it back into my main application.

Bit of a mess, but it works.

Dunno if this will help with your situation, as not sure if CTFE is causing it.

It's actually a pretty big program, I'm compiling Botan with 80k lines of code, libasync, libhttp2, memutils, vibe.d together. I intend to build a pretty big library on top of it all, so i pretty much need the memory.

It takes about 3gb on x86, although i setup mscoff to link the high amount of symbols.

So, any idea if dmd can be moved to 64 bit anytime soon?

Short recipe:
Download & VisualStudio 2013 Community Edition
Download the DMD source OR clone from GitHub repository.
Start VS 2013.
Open solution dmd_msc_vs10.sln (in folser src)
Right click solution dmd_msc_vs10 and select Properties.
Change Configuration to Release and Platform to x64.
Right click solution dmd_msc_vs10 and select Rebuild.
Result is 64bit exex dmd_msc.exe in folder src.

Regards,
Kai
