Is there D-Lang operator of optimized library function ?
There's no "odd" flag, theres the overflow flag "O", and "JO" is
jump on overflow. Or there's the parity flag "P", which signals
an odd or even number of bits in the lowest byte of the result
(on x86 anyway).
If you just want to test if an int is odd or even, just do
if (x & 1) writeln("is odd");
else writeln("is even");
that'll compile to an AND and a jmp, or conditional move maybe.
If you want to access the parity flag I think you're out of luck
aside from using inline asm.
