So for LDC to be as good as GDC, you need to need to compile with -enable-ldc-amazing-feature-cross-module-inlining? > (LDC doesn't do as good as it could, > https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/2131) > If you want a hint (though it's not my place to say), LLVM I'm told is a reasonably OK compiler, and any reasonably OK compiler should come with overflow intrinsics - try using them directly.
