There are a number of unknown fields in the mars.h (struct Params) that are only commented with: // hidden debug switches Likewise in GDC, we have some of our own additions to this struct that are not in use by DMD or LDC, so I suggest that a new backend specific structure (eg: struct Compiler) that is both unused and transparent to the frontend should replace this. This would contribute to making the frontend code shared among DMD, GDC, and LDC.

Seems like a good idea.

In a sense, fixed by https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/11762

Giving these less stupid names and then exposing them properly would probably make it easier for people to contribute to the backend, too.
