The issue is not that Martin and I are not familiar with Intel syntax. It is that the expression is both a valid D expression and AsmBrExp, and without reading the grammar, there is no way of knowing what this will turn out to be. Don't forget that nobody will be able to afford writing it things like regs[1] anyway, because others reading the code could mistake it for the obvious alternative – the meaning that the expression has everywhere else except for asm blocks. D has generally fared well with preventing unexpected behavior by outright disallowing potentially ambiguous constructs (the "if it looks like C, it behaves like C" rule, shadowing, …). I don't see why this approach should not apply here. (feel free to re-close as WONTFIX if you still don't think this merits further discussion) -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
