Have you considered using the LLVM jit compiler for CTFE? We
already have an LLVM front end. This would mean that CTFE

I can't help but laugh at this after the above posts...
I totally missed when Stefan said:
Also and perhaps more importantly I am sick and tired of
hearing "why don't you use ldc/llvm?" all the time...
That is pretty hilarious :) I suppose I just demonstrated the
reason he is attempting to create an x86 jitter so he will have
an interface that could be extended to something like LLVM. Wow.
