Couldn't it be handled by a special switch on 64 bit compilers, and
disabled normally?
Theoretically yes, but it would destroy the original intention.
Ensuring 64 bit compatibility is as easy as compiling with -m64 from
time to time, but some people can't be bothered.
Or they're on windows.
-m64 -o- should work on Windows regardless.
I got an ICE last time i tried that with DMD (haven't tried the latest
version though).
I've just been making some changes to Juno to fix 64bit issues found by
GDC, and that will do 64bit builds even on 32bit hosts, so it's pretty
straight forward to give it a try.
