With DMD 2.053 this apparently goes in infinite loop:


import std.range;
void main() {
    string s;
    foreach (i; iota(0, s.length, 3)) {}
}


What I expect: the foreach loop to loop zero times instead.

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/commit/6b92abb0449e6af80f68beb9fa1311346397bfaf fix Issue 6222 - A problem with iota() using size_t

If the common type of begin and end is unsigned and end is 0 the private member pastEnd ends up being unsigned.max due to "pastEnd - 1" (used to make end not inclusive) which results in iota behaving incorrectly. A simple change to always make an empty range when begin==end prevents this.

Also fixed and clarified the documentation.
