Both. Actually I could not imagine fixing the memory problem 
without doing IR interpretation.
I will tackle compiling more difficult code later today.
As soon as I can run my compiletime brainfuck I will open a PR.

Until then you can see my progress at 
https://github.com/UplinkCoder/dmd/tree/newCTFE
I will try to always keep the branch in a healthy state.
