I hear than Digital Mars D compiler using OPTLINK linker, and it have
optimization. But when i compile app even with -release and -O switches, then
text constants present in result exe at least twice.
Compile this 2 lines

const char[] TXT = "1a2b3\n";
void main() { printf(TXT);}

and you can see "1a2b3" string in exe 2 times. For what? Can i enable some other
switches to more optimized code?

Thanx.

Take the 'const' off and it should only appear once.
