the following code does not run as expected, it should print out "-1" twice, but it prints out -1 followed by 0. Its probably a bug with toString



import std.c.stdio;
import std.string;

void test(float f)
{
printf("%f\n", f);
printf("%s\n", toStringz(toString(f)));
}

void main()
{
test(-1);
}

doesn't toString only take an uint (and thus casts it?)

could be manfred hit a much bigger issue. namely floating point conversions in general.

dunno.. it's late again:D

AFAIK there are no floating point conversions in Phobos yet, unless you count streams.  I assume they're on the to-do list.
