If I use code like:
enum ulong VAR = 10;
I'd have expected this to be type checked when used as a ulong.
Instead it seems to be checked based on its absolute value and is
accepted for a function like:
void fun(int n) {
// Do stuff
}
If the value of VAR is set to more than int.max then the compiler
(DMD2 latest non-beta) notices the type mismatch. This would seem
like an understandable enum behaviour if VAR was just enum rather
than enum ulong but intuitively I'd have expected the specifier
to limit what would accept the enum. Is this how it's supposed to
work? As a beginner with D I came across the advice that enum was
the correct way to specify global constants but this makes it
feel safer to use const when you want type checking and perhaps
enum isn't the right choice.
