It looks like some people just don't know that the D real type is platform specific. A simple static if (real.mant_dig == 64) else static assert(false); Already helps a lot. If the code instead just assumes x86 real layout we usually only see memory corruption or bogus / invalid results and debugging that is not much fun.
