1) The 3 main compilers (dmd, gdc, ldc) share the majority of
their frontend code. They aren't independent implementations like
e.g. gcc/clang/icc/mvc/dmc etc...
2) All bugs fixed are accompanied by an addition to the test
suite to test for regressions, which is also shared between
compilers. While this isn't a systematic approach, it's quite a
large set these days and is formed of pathological corner cases,
which is exactly what you want.
