Ok so me and one of my colleagues have been working on some
code at a distance. We both use dmd as the compiler. I am
under Windows, she OSX.
It is not uncommon that she experiences more strictness in the
type system than I do. For example, something like this does
compile for me, but not for her:
int func(size_t i)
{
return i;
}
It passes my compilation. She gets an error msg about implicit
casting of uint to int. I'm just wondering... has anybody else
experienced that and what is the expected behavior?
Thanks,

size_t is a typedef to unsigned (check out
http://dlang.org/type.html). So this warning is correct. I
don't get this warning too. Maybe it's the type-checking that
does differ on OSX. Are you using same compiler version and
flags?
Yeah yeah I checked it out and we both use same versions and
everything. Basically, to bit word size coherent I should just
have writtent this instead:
ptrdiff_t func(size_t i) {return i;}
Though it is still somewhat unsafe, at least it behaves the same
on both our machines.
