You are of course right, I understand your feelings, I am a stupid -.- I must be more precise in my posts. You are right that surely dmd performs numerous optimizations. What I meant to say was a comparison with other compilers, particularly ldc. And even then generic words about a generic comparison aren't useful. So I am sorry. Bye, bearophile
