access member variables within asm

[Kai Nacke via digitalmars-d-ldc]

Hi!

That's really a deviation from dmd. Please file an issue for it: 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues

Please not that DMD-style inline assembler is not the best 
solution for ldc. If you need maximum performance than you should 
think about creating a solution with ldc style inline assembler.

Regards,
Kai
