Hello, I just started using D (2.0). I have three or four questions:
1) How to use the newsgroup link (e.g. news://news.digitalmars.com/ digitalmars.D.learn) to read the newsgroup? Is the "news://"; protocol handled by some program under Linux (Ubuntu, 64)? I write this using the HTTP interface (e.g. http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/indexing.php? server=news.digitalmars.com&group=digitalmars.D) which is not very pleasant. COuld we, at least, have an interface like the one used by archives? (e.g. http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/ Re_value_range_propagation_for_bitwise_OR_108807.html)? And a SEARCH button? 2) What is the status of complex numbers in D2? Is stated that module std.complex will replace the built-in types cfloat, cdouble, creal, ifloat, idouble, and ireal. When and... how? 2a) Why the following program has the following output? import std.stdio; real x; ireal y; creal z; int main(){ x=3; y=5i; z=x+y; writefln("x=%f",x); writefln("y=%f",y); writefln("z=%f",z); return 0; } ================================= x=3.000000 y=5.000000 z=3.000000+5.000000i Since y is an ireal number, I would have expected to be written as 5.000000i, not 5.000000. This is even more confussing as "%f" formatting seems to handle well creal numbers, but not ireal ones. 3) When DMD for Linux will be 64-bit, too? (Now it works, with multilib). However, it is a nuisance to install multilib. Thanks everybody. Eles
