So it's not really a bug. Yet there is no simple workaround. And gap
between int and double looks strange when stack frame itself is unaligned.
Interestingly, since I filed that bug, DMD for MacOSX was created, which
ensures that the stack stays aligned in the way I described! So the
DMD backend is perfectly capable of doing it now.
btw, is there no explicit alignment for variables in D at all?
align(8) double d; compiles if d is global, but it does nothing.
That's a regression. Large globals are always aligned to a 16-byte
boundary (see changelog for 2.007)
However this code:
import core.stdc.stdio: printf;
int a;
double[4] d;
void main() {
printf("%u %u\n", (cast(size_t)&a) % 8, (cast(size_t)&d) % 8);
}
shows that it stopped doing that somewhere between 2.027 and 2.030.
