In D, does a cast from float to int (and vice-versa) actually convert the whole
part of the float to an equivalent integer value? 
Or does the cast merely reinterpret the bits as the other type?

Thanks,

 Right. 

What is the "equivalent integer value" of a float that is out of the 
range of the integer it is casted to?

The smallest representable integer. For
long: (0x8000000000000000) -9223372036854775808
int: (0x80000000) -2147483648
