           Summary: Unnecessary struct ABI inconsistency
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: clugdbug yahoo.com.au


There is a horrible ABI difference between Linux and Windows which seems to be
completely unjustified. Although extern(C) needs to be different between the
systems, there's no reason for extern(D) to.

Linux and Windows should use the same return algorithm for 1,2,4, and 8-byte
structs. This is the only point at which the ABI differs (except for the fact
that real.sizeof is different, but that's something dictacted by the OS).

The ABI as implemented in DMD with regards to returning structs appears to be
as the spec describes for Windows, as confirmed by mucking about with obj2asm.
(Note that, to create a 3-byte struct, you need to use align(1).)

I ascertained this using dmd2.029; other versions might have different
behavior.
