Building DMD with MSVC results in a compiler that runs MUCH MUCH faster.
In the interest of making DMD releases as fast as possible, this should be
standardised.
Just one thing: Before attempting to build git-head, the following
pull is required:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2102
For some reason when I use DMD built with MSVC my unittests don't run.
Other than that it does seem to be faster. I haven't ran any benchmarks yet.
There is a bug in the visual studio 2010 and up compiler which causes
real support to break. Its easiyl fixable though:
Replace line 136 in longdouble.h
template<typename T> inline longdouble ldouble(volatile T x) {
longdouble d; d.set(x); return d; }
with
template<typename T> __declspec(noinline) longdouble ldouble(T x) {
longdouble d; d.set(x); return d; }
And your unittests should run again.
Visual Studio 2008 and older don't have that problem.
