A little D2 program:


int[] foo() {
    return [];
}
int[] bar() {
    return null;
}
void main() {}


The asm of the two functions, compiling it with DMD 2.052:
dmd -O -release -inline test2.d


_D5test23fooFZAi    comdat
L0:     push    EAX
        mov EAX,offset FLAT:_D11TypeInfo_Ai6__initZ
        push    0
        push    EAX
        call    near ptr __d_arrayliteralT
        mov EDX,EAX
        add ESP,8
        pop ECX
        xor EAX,EAX
        ret

_D5test23barFZAi    comdat
        xor EAX,EAX
        xor EDX,EDX
        ret


I am not sure, but I think it's better to compile foo() to the same assembly as
bar().
