https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14641 Issue ID: 14641 Summary: Use SIMD to accelerate comment lexing Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: DMD Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: bugzilla digitalmars.com We encourage use of Ddoc to document functions.
