Hi,

I don't think the language really makes it clear whether overflows and underflows are well-defined. Do we guarantee that for any integral type
T, T.max + 1 == T.min and T.min - 1 == T.max?

This is relevant in particular for GDC and LDC since they target a lot
of weird architectures.


Can anyone give a definitive answer to this or at least confirm that it is an open issue?

I don't have the reference at the moment but the C99(?) standard requires wraparound behavior by UNSIGNED integer values. I don't know if there is an equivalent requirement for signed values.

Sorry, it's C++:

It's both C and C++ for unsigned integer.
Signed is undefined, unsigned is 'wraparound'.

Both sucks for the default behaviour IMHO : premature optimisation..
