Description Richard (Rikki) Andrew Cattermole 2022-05-26 02:22:11 UTC 
"man gdc":

-frelease
    Turns on compiling in release mode, which means not emitting runtime
    checks for contracts and asserts.  Array bounds checking is not done for
    @system and @trusted functions, and assertion failures are undefined
    behavior.

    This is equivalent to compiling with the following options:

    gdc -fno-assert -fbounds-check=safe -fno-invariants \
    -fno-postconditions -fno-preconditions -fno-switch-errors

"ldc2 --help"

 --release  - Compile release version, defaulting to disabled
     asserts/contracts/invariants, and bounds checks in
    @safe functions only

But "man dmd" isn't helpful at all:

-release
              Compile release version
