The source code is right here:

	https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd

It comes with an extensive set of unit tests, which can be run by
specifying the 'unittest' target for the makefile. The tests range from
sources that should be compilable, sources that should fail compilation,
sources that can be run, and win32-specific tests. I've run the tests
before; they do take quite some time to complete because they're quite
exhaustive.

Indeed.
