+ Regression/C++/EH/exception_spec_test
+ Regression/C++/EH/throw_rethrow_test
+ Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/moments
+ Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/random

+Here are the known MultiSource test failures, neglecting FreeBench,
+MallocBench, and Prolangs-C++:

+ Applications/lambda
+ Applications/d/make_dparser

To-do
-----
-* support 64-bit (double FP, long, ulong) arguments to functions
-* support functions with more than 6 args
-* support setcc on longs
-* support basic binary operations on longs
-* support casting <=32-bit integers, bools to long
+* support shifts on longs
* support casting 64-bit integers to FP types
+* support FP rem
+* directly support select instructions
