Good, I am glad to be wrong then.

Currently in LDC you have two different ways to tell the compiler to inline some Asm. Such syntaxes are not present in D/DMD. So do you plan to add something like those two syntaxes to D/DMD too?

One of them is this pragma:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/ldc/wiki/Docs#allow_inline

int add(int a, int b) {
  pragma(allow_inline);
  asm { mov EAX, a; add EAX, b; }
}



And the other one is Inline asm expressions:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/ldc/wiki/InlineAsmExpressions

That are used like this:

// store val into dst
void store(ref int dst, int val) {
  __asm("ldw r4, $1 ; stw r4, $0", "=*m,r,~{r4}", &dst, val);
}
