Hi,

I'm trying to sort an array of doubles. Before sorting, it contains these values:

0  1  0.5  0.333333  0.666667  0.25  0.5  0.75  0.2  0.4  0.6  0.8

Then I call

	borders.sort;

where borders is the above array. Afterwards the array is:

0.75  1  0.6  0.4  0.2  0.5  0  0.25  0.666667  0.333333  0.5  0.8

In what way is this sorted? I'm afraid I'm not understanding something here.

I'm using dmd 0.113.

Thanks,
Sebastian

This is due to a bug in phobos/std/typeinfo/ti_double.d.
<code>
#18    int compare(void *p1, void *p2)
#19    {
#20	return cast(int)(*cast(double *)p1 - *cast(double *)p2);
#21    }
</code>

A quick fix:
<code>
    int compare(void *p1, void *p2)
    {
        double d = (*cast(double *)p1 - *cast(double *)p2);
	return d>0?1:d<0?-1:0;
    }
</code>

Thanks, but how do I recompile phobos afterwards? I do

	C:\dmd\src\phobos>\dm\bin\make -fwin32.mak

but it keeps choking on

	\dm\bin\dmc -c internal\minit.asm
	masm386 -DM_I386=1 -D_WIN32 -Mx internal\minit.asm;
	
	Can't run 'masm386', check PATH
	Error: '\dm\bin\dmc' not found

I even downloaded a "masm386.exe" from somewhere and put it on the PATH, but it still doesn't work.
I've never worked with assemblers, I'm afraid ^^

You need to download and install dmc from
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmc.zip

I did. It doesn't fix the error. :(

Seems you need to `touch' minit.obj, because it is somehow older than minit.asm.

Well, it took me some time to find out how to 'touch' in Windows (I used Cygwin in the end -.-), but it finally worked. The sorting bug is also fixed. Thanks Manfred and Zwang. :)

Is this on the bug group?
