Is this a ldc2 issue or DCD issue?

I think it's actually an LLVM issue. I'm using a build of LDC that uses LLVM 3.4 and I don't see this issue. XMM7 and RAX are both valid operands for the PMOVMSKB instruction.

Okay, that would also make sense. I guess that's just one more reason for ditching pre-3.4 support. At this point, there is just too many known issues to bother with them. Especially since the LLVM 3.6 release is imminent, and given that even if there are no distro packages, compiling LLVM locally as part of building LDC is trivial.

I think the LLVM commit is http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20131007/190626.html which was committed after 3.2. I did not check if this is included in LLVM 3.3 but it is in LLVM 3.4.

Thanx. I will install a more recent version of llvm alongside and try again.
