           Summary: Inline assembler: cannot use global scope operator
           Product: D
           Version: 1.013
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com

int x;
int main() {
        asm {
                mov EAX, .x;
        }
}

The above code fails with the error "nops expected".

Ways to work around this: removing the leading period from the x (doesn't work
if there's a local x, of course), creating an alias to x and using that
instead, or using a module declaration and referring to x by way of the module
name.
