Hello,
this is perhaps something for d.learning, except that I don't see how! I
found a small D program on Facebook http://pastebin.ca/2315433 , and
compiling it with all 3 implementations on my Ubuntu 12.10 gives this
"common" eror, in 2 implementations with more verbose output
h3.d(72): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (g0.length) of
type ulong to int
On Windows 7-64 however it compiles just fine with dmd2. From a
discussion on this list I concluded this error is "fundamental" and
don't expect it to be configurable with a compiler switch or whatever.
Nor do I expect the dmd package to ship with fundamentally different
config files on windows and linux. What's going on?
Thanks
Make sure the linux compiler you are using is 64 bit.
Just because you are on a 64 bit system doesn't mean you are compiling
64-bit programs. For example, in the latest dmd, there is a linux/bin32
and linux/bin64 directory. *BOTH* will run on 64-bit linux, but only the
64 bit compiler will compile 64-bit programs.
That being said, as others have pointed out, the code really should use
size_t and not int/uint.
