http://d.puremagic.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40 Summary: DecimalFloat spec doesn't match dmd behavior Product: D Version: 0.149 Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: Mac OS X Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: www.digitalmars.com AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com ReportedBy: braddr@puremagic.com The documentation currently describes DecimalFloat as: DecimalFloat: DecimalDigits . DecimalDigits . DecimalDigits DecimalDigits . DecimalDigits DecimalExponent . DecimalDigits . DecimalDigits DecimalExponent DecimalDigits DecimalExponent I believe this is incorrect. It should be, by my reasoning: DecimalFloat: DecimalDigits . DecimalDigits . DecimalDigits DecimalDigits . DecimalDigits DecimalExponent . Decimal . Decimal DecimalExponent DecimalDigits DecimalExponent The reason I believe this to be is simple. Try the following code: writefln(._1); According to the previous definition of DecimalFloat (as far as I read it), that should be equivalent to: writefln(.1); However, it instead generates an error with DMD. I think this makes the most sense, and serves to clarify that this: writefln(._); Is also not a FloatLiteral (which I think is pretty clear.) Thanks, -[Unknown] -- |
