Turns out, a trivial change is all that's needed.

Wow. That's a simple fix! A few comments regarding the test case.

Don't you have to check that it actually prints "Success" here?
[[ $(echo "Success") == "Success" ]] || exit 1

FWIW the || exit is superfluous here.
A bash script will yield the last return value as exit code if not explicitly exited
Convince yourself:
sh -c "grep -q 'foo' afile.d" ; echo $? There was a problem hiding this comment.
True. I'm wary of relying on these implicit behaviours, though. Stating || exit 1 makes it more obvious what's happening. Not that it makes a difference, I just prefer to have things up-front than implicit. Implicit things tend to be fragile and unintentionally break later.

That's why one usually does a set -e at the beginning 😉

I really like the new functionality and the changes LGTM too.

This is too simplistic, it won't work if there's a command after -run, e.g. dmd -run -m64 -

Actually, -run takes an argument, so your example is invalid. (I'm not sure why whoever originally implemented -run did it this way, but that's how it currently works, and this PR is just following in its steps.)(And yes, the first time I realized -run took an argument I was surprised too. :-P)

Oh sorry. I just looked over this again from my phone and imagined that doing dmd -run -version=Foo myfile.d is legimate, so yeah that seems like bad design too me too, but that's an opportunity for another PR ;-)

Oh I didn't realize that -run always has to take an argument

Turns out, only a trivial change is needed to make this work, by hooking into the code implemented in #6880 for reading source code from stdin.
With this change, dmd acquires the functionality:
which compiles and runs standard input without the user needing to specify any intermediate filenames.
The above is a trivial example, of course. A more pertinent use case would be executing the source code in an editor's buffer via stdin, and having the output captured by the editor as stdout, without needing to specify intermediate temporary files. Another use case would be code generation tools that can instantly produce output without needing to manage temporary files.
