Give git-autofixup a try, never had any incorrect fixup targets with it's hunk-based algorithm.

Same workflow here, and it's become a breeze with autofix, rebase --update-refs, and a small command to push the whole stack. I'm using magit, so I directly see what could not be m…

Yes, I empirically found the hunk-based approach of git autofixup to work more reliably. I use it via magit. Paired with rebase --update-refs, it's particularly helpful to automati…

This approach is taken by https://github.com/dlang-community/drepl and https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/repl/overview.html . While it works surprisingly well, you need to pars…

And this short snippet in D T max(T)(T a, T b) { return a without requiring explicit constexpr annotations and with less noisy template syntax ;).

For emacs it might be OK, usually mutating objects in the heap during marking is not a good idea, as it breaks sharing CoW pages with forks.

Did sth. similar a while ago for our not so great D GC. https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1073

You loose builtin arrays and hashes and need to use a container library instead. Same goes for newing aggegates which can be replaced with smart pointers. Escaping closures (delega…

You don't have to restrict yourself to betterC to use manual memory management. BetterC is mainly targetted at embedded programming and to port components of existing C application…

In D which has CTFE support since ages, you'd debug such functions by invoking them at runtime. https://tour.dlang.org/tour/en/gems/compile-time-function-ev... There are also tools…

Yes, if you're willing to spent some effort on it. Somewhat simpler you can just avoid most GC allocations so you don't run into any performance issues with the GC. http://dlang.or…

The D language is currently heading towards deterministic and safe memory management, making it possible to avoid the GC overall, hence further work on GC improvements was depriori…
