With the sources of 1.031 and 1.032 someone (the D developers too) can try to
take the sources of 1.031 and add the changes of 1.032 one after the other
testing what is the part that produces this executable swelling, to solve this
problem.

Maybe the build system of D can grow some "performance tests" (using both
normal compilation and full optimized compilation) to keep an eye on:
- running time of some benchmarks
- their executable size
- the time the compiler needs to compile them

I sure miss Thomas's DStress statistics. I've been trying to get his

Walter has signed the problem as solved, but with 1.034 I see no changes in
size, so the program is inflated still. If this will be confirmed the bug may
be reopened :-)

What compile options do you use?
I just used "dmd main.d" followed by "strip main".

bearophile <bearophileHUGS lycos.com> writes:

For this benchmark the same I have used in the past, that means none at all:

dmd test.d


 I just used "dmd main.d" followed by "strip main".

On Windows I haven't found a working strip for DMD yet.

I believe Windows binary format is already stripped (usually debug symbols 
are put into a separate file).

I didn't test compiling with just void main() { }, but when I re-compiled some
of my work, the executable size went down from 1.033. So I would say it got
resolved for the most part.

Err, scratch that. When I compiled void main() { } with 'dmd main', the size
was still 121kb, and my other executable sizes were the same too.
