I need, at least, forceinline to complete it, but that one *is*
controversial - we've talked about this for years.
GDC and LDC both have a forceinline, so I could theoretically support
those compilers, but then I can't practically make use of them without
some sort of attribute aliasing system, otherwise I need to triplicate
the code for each compiler, just to insert a different (compiler
specific) forceinline attribute name. It'd be really great if we
agreed on just one.
I don't know about LDC but at least GDC allows you to use UDA's instead
of a pragma. Then you can create a dummy attribute for DMD (and LDC):
version (GNU)
import gcc.attribute
else
{
struct attribute
{
string attr;
}
}
@attribute("forceinline") void foo ();
