digitalmars.D.learn - What is the memory usage limit on DMD linux?

current stats:

14min 14sec compile time
~1070MB memory usage (256 actual memeory)

And that's only the 26 productions needed to define expressions!

BTW does anyone known of an command line tool that will given me peak memory 
usage on linux?

You can sort the columns in top.

What's where I got the ~1GB number. 

What I'm looking for is a tool that will allow me to ignore the build and 
find peak usage after dmd has quit.

I misunderstood your question, realized that shortly after hitting the
reply button. Sorry about that.

I can't find anything that would do what you need, however, all I can
suggest is writing a script that runs repeatedly, writing to a file
how much memory dmd is using. Then when the compilation is complete
you can open the file and sort it.

Sounds like a very unusual compile time.
How do you do that? Compiling GBs of code? ;-)

Some of the tioport builds took over an hour...
(on a reasonable modern cpu machine, that is)
That -fall-sources switch to gdmd is *killer*,
for large code bases. (although a needed evil)

Totally unrelated to these DMD issues, though.

wow - the worst i've seen is 3-5 minutes and <600mb, but only when 
optimizing >10000 line switch-statements with >800 cases. without -O, 
compile times are adequate (<1min).
did you try compiling with GDC or DMD on windows?

DMD win gives, "symbol name to long my 10K+" errors.

Another thing I noted is that the object file is about 100MB (I'm only creating 
about 40 non trivial funtions and about 40-60 trivial ones) and I'm starting 
to get link errors. :-b

Possibly you have run into this bug?
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1382

The man page of the 'time' utility (not the bash buildin) says it'd be able
to give peak memory usage. It does not work for me though.

I don't think so. The only CTFE I use is done well before the memory stops 
climbing

It looks like that is using the getrusage system call and only about 5 of 
the values are valid under Linux
