In a nutshell:

# import std.stdio;
#
# void main()
# {
#   writefln(cast(int) 12.0);
#   writefln(cast(uint) 12.0);
#   writefln(cast(long) 12.0);
#   writefln(cast(ulong) 12.0);
# }

Output:
12
12
12
0

And I was wondering why the square root of every number was zero ;-)

It works when I try it. -Walter

Hmm, that's strange, because it still doesn't work for me. I'm using dmd 0.98 on linux. Can anyone else comfirm?

I'm on linux, too, and it reproduces for me.

Ah, on linux. I'll check it out.

I am on Linux (Fedora Core 1, DMD 0.110), and have found this problem with casting float->ulong, double->ulong, and real->ulong.  It works when converting to long, however.

This currently prints:

> double: 1
> double->float: 1
> double->real:  1
> double->ulong: 0
> double->long:  1
> float: 2
> float->double: 2
> float->real:   2
> float->ulong:  0
> float->long:   2
> real: 3
> real->float:  3
> real->double: 3
> real->ulong:  0
> real->long:   3
