I've taken a look at core.simd and I have to say is unuseable. In a very small test program I already found 3 bugs

1) Using debug symbols together with core.simd will cause a ICE http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10224 2) The STOUPS instruction is not correctly implemented: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10225 3) The XMM register allocation is catastrophic: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10226

Whats the current state of core.simd? Is it still beeing worked on? Because it its current state its pretty much unuseable.

Kind Regards

does this generate better code?
float4 v = __vector([1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f]);
