In conclusion: Maybe LDC2 generates a lot of extra code, but I always make longer asm routines, so it's not a problem for me at all while it helps me a lot.
An extra note: I recommend you look into using `ldc.llvmasm.__asm` to write inline assembly. Some advantages: no worrying about calling conventions (portability) and you'll have more instructions available. If you care about performance, usually you should _not_ write assembly, but for the 1% of other cases: the compiler also understands your asm much better if you use __asm.
LDC's __asm syntax is very similar (if not the same) to what GDC uses for inline assembly.
