His approach depends on DMD directly emitting x86 machine code, so it

LDC on the other hand needs to emit LLVM asm, which requires it to
specify an explicit return value. My approach is a way to extract that
return value from the inline asm, allowing it to emulate DMD behavior
within the LLVM IR.
Ok, so why not, for a function that returns an int, simply have the
compiler silently tack on the LLVM equivalent of "return EAX"?
I've created bugzilla 2648 for one of the issues -- struct returns are a
particular nuisance. (I think you may encounter this on DMD-Mac).
