Issue ID: 17003
Summary: std.bigint: CTFE not available for win32
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: phobos
Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com

From: https://github.com/andersonpd/eris/issues/6
> The ongoing problem with std.bigint is that CTFE is not available for
the 32-bit Windows version. Because of this eris.decimal will not
compile with std.bigint. The fundamental issue is that std.bigint uses
assembly language routines for speed-up in the 32-bit Windows versions
and asm instructions cannot be evaluated at compile time.
I have, as noted, created a separate big integer type which I am sure is
not as fast as std.bigint, but it is correctly implemented. I just hate
to see two different bigint implementations in phobos, so I have not
pushed to move my eris.decimal to std.decimal until std.bigint is modified.
