I'm writing a 'betterC' program and the compiler is
generating a call to '_memset64' if I have an array literal
where the elements are the same.
It's a known bug:
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17778
My guess is that the reason it hasn't been fixed is that (a)
it's possible to work around it, and (b) the problem is in the
compiler backend, and few people understand that code well
enough to fix it.
I plan to start a project in reasonable size, I wonder if I
should really use betterC... if I encounter a bug like this,
will I be stuck at it?
The bug report says, it is a dmd specific problem, and LDC, my
favorite d compiler, works well (tried it).
