Porting from C to D.

# #include <assert.h>
#
# int main(){
#     double d = 1.7976931348623157e+308;
#     long double ld = d;
#
#     assert(ld == 1.7976931348623157e+308);

#     return 0;
# }

== test.d ==
# int main(){

#     real ld = d;
#
#     assert(ld == 1.7976931348623157e+308);

test results:

==C code (64 bit mode)==
[PASS]
double:      0xFFFFFFFFFFFFEF7F

==C code (32 bit mode)==
[PASS]
double:      0xFFFFFFFFFFFFEF7F
long double: 0x00F8FFFFFFFFFFFFFE43FFFF

==D code (32 bit mode)==
[FAIL]
double: 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFEF7F
real:   0x00F8FFFFFFFFFFFFFE430000

This is not a bug. D always tries to do any compile time evaluation of floating point constants at max precision. So, you can get different results by assigning the same literal to a double than if it is assigned to a real. The assignment to double rounds the literal to double precision, the assignment to real rounds it to real precision.
