// WinXP with D v0.129 (and v0.128)
At first, I couldn't understand why my D code was falling into areas of code it
shouldn't have...until I discovered that the negative numbers were being treated
as if they were positive numbers in my compares. As the example below shows:
















Output:
--------
C:\dmd>dmd negcompare.d
C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe negcompare,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

C:\dmd>negcompare
main() : (-128 >= 0)=true, (-128 <= 0)=false
main() : (128 >= 0)=true, (128 <= 0)=false

C:\dmd>
