Allow specific optimization passes to be requested from the command line. Now you can run "`ldc test.d -c -mem2reg -simplifycfg`" if you feel the urge. The -O<N> options are still supported, and are inserted in the passes list in the position where they appear on the command line. (so -simplifycfg -O1 -instcombine does the "right thing") One small change: -inline is renamed to -enable-inlining due to a naming conflict with the option to add the -inline pass. -inline now inserts the inlining pass in the position specified, not in the middle of -O<N>. (ldmd has been updated to translate -inline to -enable-inlining)

This is the source code to the front end Digital Mars D compiler.
It covers the lexical analysis, parsing, and semantic analysis
of the D Programming Language defined in the documents at
www.digitalmars.com/d/

The optimizer, code generator, and object file generator are not part
of this source, hence the source does not currently constitute a complete,
compilable program. However, many people have expressed a strong interested
in producing a D compiler with the GNU compiler sources. This release should
enable that.

These sources are free, they are redistributable and modifiable
under the terms of the GNU General Public License (attached as gpl.txt),
or the Artistic License (attached as artistic.txt).

It does not apply to anything else distributed by Digital Mars,
including D compiler executables.
