1253526 - Remove DMD's --max-frames option

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DMD, defect)

Description

[Nicholas Nethercote [inactive]]

DMD has a --max-frames option.  dmd.py *also* has a --max-frames option.

The latter is highly useful, but the former is not. It has the potential to speed things up by collecting shorter stack traces, but I've never used it and I doubt anyone else has.

Nobody uses it.

It's rare anyone would see it, and it just duplicates the info present in |mach
run|.

There's a similar option for ASan, which is used in automation to reduce memory usage, but we don't run DMD like that so that it shouldn't be an issue.
