My project [1] has enough language coverage to expose two issues that break compilation.

1. Stack overflow in ddmd/dtemplate.d:6241, TemplateInstance::needsCodegen(); https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18026
2. -allinst gives undefined reference linker errors; https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19123

It's also of a size large enough that the memory needed to compile makes CircleCI kill the process. Locally I generally need to close my browsers to be able to build. I'd throw money at all these three problems if I knew it would help. #dbugfix :c

Everything speaks for abandoning dub and moving ahead with something with which I can separately compile parts of the program for less memory, and use -allinst on key files to avoid issue 1 without triggering issue 2. --build-mode=singleFile exists, but I don't see anything in dub that would let me apply -allinst on a per-file basis.

Are there any guides on where to get started with this? Any protips?

Can dub still be used to some extent?
