This started in the last DMD version (2.078):
byte b = -10;
ulong u = b < 0 ? -b : b;
//Deprecation: integral promotion not done for `-b`, use
'-transition=intpromote' switch or `-cast(int)(b)
Why do I need a to promote a byte to int to obtain an ulong? Even in the
extreme case where b is byte.min, -byte.min as unsigned is exactly what
i need: 128;
Actually, for b = byte.min, you get u = 18446744073709551488.
2.078 is starting to fix this so that you get 128. But that's a breaking
change, so you have to use the compiler switch or the cast for a couple
releases.
