SYNOPSIS
ldc2 [options] files
DESCRIPTION
ldc is the LLVM-based D compiler. It compiles D language source code to native executables.
The compiler produces fast code using LLVM optimizations. It's one of the main D compilers alongside DMD.
PARAMETERS
FILES
D source files.-of FILE
Output filename.-O LEVEL

CAVEATS
Requires LLVM. D language specific. May lag DMD features.
HISTORY
LDC was created to provide LLVM-based compilation for the D programming language, offering better optimization.
