           Summary: No file or line information in error message "cannot
                    implicitly convert expression (-1) of type ulong to
                    double"
           Product: D
           Version: 0.162
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: digitalmars-com@baysmith.com


The error message from compiling the following code does not give any file or line information. In large projects, not having the file and line information makes finding the error difficult.

Code:
void main() {
        double maxValue = ulong.max;
}

Command:
dmd tmp.d

Output:
cannot implicitly convert expression (-1) of type ulong to double

Not to mention that it also makes DMD look amateurish.

Can anybody reproduce this issue? DMD-0.162 on Linux behaved as expected and didn't produce any error messages.

Problem in Windows environment (Win XP SP2) ...

c:\temp>type test1.d
void main() {
       double maxValue = ulong.max;
}

c:\temp>dmd test1.d
cannot implicitly convert expression (-1) of type ulong to double
