And x86 inline assembler... on ARM? I don't think I follow.
If I understand http://dlang.org/iasm.html correctly, the idea is that D should
have an inline assembler for each target architecture.
AFAICS what's desired is that you should be able to insert
asm
{
// target-specific assembly goes here
}
... and have it accepted by _any_ D compiler. That seems to me to be an
important part of the language in general and even more so on architectures that
are suited to embedded systems. So while it may make sense to cut the inline
assembly in the short term for GDC, it doesn't make sense to me for it to be a
change that lasts.
