Hi,

When I compile the following code with DMD, it does not fail. But with GDC, it fails:

int main() {
    enum E { A, B };
    E e = -E.B;
    assert(e < 0);
    return 0;
}

That's because DMD treats enum as int but GDC may treat as uint. The language specification of D says the behavior of DMD is correct.

  The EnumBaseType is the underlying type of the enum. It must be an integral
  type. If omitted, it defaults to int.

Seems strange to me that you're allowed to do "operator -" on an enum at
all.
The result is not a valid value for enum E.

I think enum of C and D is just one of the integral type and IMHO my code is legal. But there is not the essence of the problem. So I refined my code.

int main() {
    enum E { A = -1 };
    E e = E.A;
    assert(e < 0);
    return 0;
}
