I left ldc out because its frontend (at least the package 
currently available on Arch Linux) is older and can’t compile 
the code,<
There are updated LDC2 versions here: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/ Bye, bearophile

I figured, but I try not to have to compile my own binaries. I'm 
running Arch Linux so I can get the new and shiny toys without 
having to! :P

When it gets released and package I might add its numbers to the 
tables.

Good question. I forgot about those. I wish it was easier to do 
release builds with dmd. Gonna try that out now.

I updated the results. Using those two options brings dmd a lot 
closer to gdc and even surpasses it in one benchmark. Interesting.

Perhaps we should start linking to this one instead? https://hn.algolia.com/#!/story/forever/0/Increasing%20performance%20with%20static%20polymorphism%20(and%20other%20neat%20tricks)

Erm thats where I am coming from, the search feature is there at the bottom, take a look at the footer. I have a slightly tangential question, repeating what I asked on HN Can't the destructor issue of scopebuffer be mitigated by using hasElaborateDestructor( ) For instance have two versions one with a destructor for non POD and another without. The compiler dispatches to the appropriate one at compile time. There should not be any loss in performance.

Ah, you're right. That could definitely be better placed... I generally read the Hackernews RSS feed, not the site itself, so I'm not well-accustomed to the actual site.

I am very curious about the following (I think by the time I had
clarified my question Walter had left the building)

 I have a slightly tangential question, repeating what I asked 
 on HN

 Can't the destructor issue of scopebuffer be mitigated by using

      hasElaborateDestructor( )

 For instance have two versions one with a destructor for non  
 POD
 and another without. The compiler dispatches to the appropriate
 one at compile time. There should not be any loss in 
 performance.

Andrei suggested something similar on github a couple weeks ago: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2014#issuecomment-37947056
