I though C style casts were not supported? But when I accidentaly

int i;
if (uint(i) < length) ....

it compiled and worked fine. Whys that?

This is not a cast. You call constructor `uint(int x)`. In the same time `uint(somethingTypeOfLong)` would not work, but cast(long). --Ilya

Wouldn't a C style cast be: int i; if ((uint)i < length) ? -- /Jacob Carlborg

Yeah bad memory on my part, it's C++ cast, or one of them.
