how to use Intel syntax with GCC's inline asm was faster than trying to
learn the absolute %hideous &satan-$born

Good to be reminded that's possible. :)

Yes.

which I'm sure people are actively working on - e.g. missing stack traces,
failure to generate catchable throwables in response to null pointer access
violations and the like - and also, my DLL stopped working when I turned
debug info off (I didn't investigate why beyond checking that the export
table contained the required entries, which it did) - so after a whole
weekend of it, I decided to cut my losses and shell out for the DMC source
so I could fix the bug that led me to GDC in the first place. (I also
noticed that the GDC build was over 6 MB and the DMD build was less than 1
MB.)
