Code gen bugs are some of the worst bugs in a compiler in their adverse affect on users. These need to get pulled. I understand that reviewing the intricacies of register allocation, etc., in a compiler is not at all easy. But there really isn't anyone other than me who knows how it works in dmd.

The sooner it gets pulled, the less likely it is to break code in the next release.

I don't mind merging, but do bear in mind all I'll do is:

1. Check if the PR has a relevant test in the testsuite.
2. Check that the PR passes testsuite via autotester.

The rest would be a merge with faith.

Regards
Iain.
