The point is just that: Right now I can write assembly that
will work on
GDC, LDC, and DMD on non-Windows. It will not work for DMD on
Windows.
Something has to change here.
You're missing the point if you think this is a "developer
mistake".
Is not just Windows, the DMD calling convention on Linux
differs from
the system calling convention. For example, some of the naked
functions in std.math returning floating point values assumes
caller
clean up. Where as the C calling convention is callee clean up.
That is incorrect. The cdecl calling convention is caller
clean-up (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions). Otherwise,
variable argument functions would not be possible (the called
function doesn't know what to clean up).
