No, it only disables 4-5 things, so while you're right that it 
applies towards ddmd, it should be pretty easy to manually 
backport to the old C++ frontend. I plan to do so for the 
ltsmaster branch of ldc, its last C++ version, this week: you can 
apply that pull to Dan's ios branch or easily port it yourself.
