The original issue was: auto offset = text1.length - text2.length; func(offset); and offset turned out to be around 4294967291 I was thinking, setting a uint to a negative value is kind of an overflow, should it maybe be treated the same way like array bounds and be checked by druntime (with optional disabling in production release)? -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
