I am seeing an "recursive expansion" error generated by ldc2 on 
some D code. Do you know how to extend the max number of 
recursive calls, as with the -ftemplate-depth= switch of GCC?

Bye and thank you,

There is no switch - the limit is hardcoded in the frontend 
source.
Does the source compile with dmd?

The program gives the same error message with dmd. Can't you 
replace this front-end hard-coded value with a value that 
optionally can be specified with a compiler switch (despite the 
risk of compiler crash)?
