You have fixed bug 67, but it seems that compiling with -release is required.
Compiling only with -O -inline the test code reports, on my computer, that
std.math.abs() is almost 10 times slower. Shouldn't this change occur with
-inline? I thought -release was only for removing stuff like asserts and
contracts.

It may or may not be worth noting that bug 73
(http://d.puremagic.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73) does not exhibit the same
behaviour - the speeds reported for std.math.abs() and local abs() are always
only marginally different, regardless of the switches I throw at the compiler.

You can tell if it's being inlined or not by doing an obj2asm.

Take a look at dmd/src/dmd/mars.c - That explains it (and FWIW sounds reasonable
to me since -release will most likely be thrown when performance is an issue for
end-user builds after QA is complete).

IMHO it's reasonable to assume that one would want maximum performance in builds
with asserts and array bounds checking and such enabled.

I see that it would require some work to get it to work, and I don't
_personally_ really mind that much - I expect debug builds to be slow <g> - so
I'm not complaining.

It's just that I remembered some people who were worried about things like "a
program may not rely on array bounds checking happening" in the D documentation.
Such people are the type that would rarely compile with -release thrown.

All that is is a recompiled phobos.lib with debug turned off.

Does this include libphobos.a with debug turned off too?

It was already off in libphobos.a.

Very nice!  Two quick fixes:

phobos/std/typeinfo/ti_aA.d:
     "uint getHash" -> should be "hash_t getHash"

phobos/object.d:
     "alias uint hash_t" -> should be "alias size_t hash_t" or needs a 
version(X86_64) block as in phobos/internal/object.d

Done.

My mistake.  The original must have been altered during my merge.  I 
re-extracted from the zipfile and now it's okay.
