https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17003 Issue ID: 17003 Summary: std.bigint: CTFE not available for win32 Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86 OS: Windows Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: phobos Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: greeenify gmail.com From: https://github.com/andersonpd/eris/issues/6The ongoing problem with std.bigint is that CTFE is not available forthe 32-bit Windows version. Because of this eris.decimal will not compile with std.bigint. The fundamental issue is that std.bigint uses assembly language routines for speed-up in the 32-bit Windows versions and asm instructions cannot be evaluated at compile time. I have, as noted, created a separate big integer type which I am sure is not as fast as std.bigint, but it is correctly implemented. I just hate to see two different bigint implementations in phobos, so I have not pushed to move my eris.decimal to std.decimal until std.bigint is modified. --
