Issue ID: 14641
Summary: Use SIMD to accelerate comment lexing
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: DMD
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
We encourage use of Ddoc to document functions. But this can result in
voluminous comments, which slow down the lexer. Lexing comments can be
accelerated by using SIMD vector instructions.
A little inline assembler in the lexer.c dmd source code would implement this.
