You can find this out by:

     dmd -c test.d
     obj2asm test.obj

Also,

     enum s = "hello";
     size_t i = s.length;

The string "hello" does not appear in the object file.

     immutable string s = "hello";
     size_t i = s.length;

The string "hello" does appear in the object file.

     immutable string s = "hello";
     immutable string t = "hello";

The string "hello" appears only once in the object file.
