I got bitten by this when I wanted to create a 6GB large file to test 64 bit
support in std.stdio with dmd 2.048.


The output of:


import std.stdio;

void main(string args[])
{
    long l_dangerous = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 6;
    writefln("l_dangerous = 0x%x", l_dangerous);
    writefln("l_dangerous = %s", l_dangerous);

    long l_ok = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 6L;
    writefln("l_ok = 0x%x", l_ok);
    writefln("l_ok = %s", l_ok);
    return;    
}

is

l_dangerous = 0xffffffff80000000
l_dangerous = -2147483648
l_ok = 0x180000000
l_ok = 6442450944


dmd 2.048 did not issue a warning about the integer overflow (neither with or
without -w)
