I admit I've no idea how the D compiler implements compile-time evaluation, but is it possible for the compiler to actually emit code for compile-time functions containing asm blocks and, say, execute it in a sandbox, and read the values out from the machine registers? Or does this create more problems than it solves?
Doing this would mean you can't do cross-compilation, eg using x86 to compile for ARM. Which means you'd need to use a virtual machine for it, which is almost certainly more effort than it's worth.
