I've discovered what I consider to be a bug.
I used the search functionality provided by the site to see if any other posts
had been made about it, and I was unable to find any. If I missed it, I
apologize for this redundant post.
Anyway, this throws the above error:

const int RBN_FIRST = -831;

Apparently, I'm not allowed to assign negative values to a const variable. Is this a bug, or by design? If so, why?

I can remember seeing that error message in a similar situation. The problem is that the line alone doesn't throw the message. (Linux dmd-110/gdc-0.10)

You're right, I just tried it on it's own. So I trimmed the source a bit, and finally came up with the following:

int main()
{
return 0;
}

const int RBN_FIRST = -831;

enum
{
RBN_HEIGHTCHANGE = RBN_FIRST
}

I'm using DMD 0.110 on Windows XP SP2, Danish edition
