Description Walter Bright 2020-07-18 11:00:00 UTC 
I cannot find in test/run.d where it decides which dmd to run the tests on. The emitted output is "..." for which compiler is run, which is useless. Couldn't find it in test/README.md, either.

Even using the -v switch doesn't produce useful information.

run.d -v prints all relevant environment variables including `DMD`. This varaible is documented in test/README.md as the tested compiler.
