From the grammar,
FloatLiteral:
Float
Float Suffix
Integer ImaginarySuffix
Integer FloatSuffix ImaginarySuffix
Integer RealSuffix ImaginarySuffix
it appears that dmd should be able to compile something like
ifloat f1 = 0b1001i; //doesn't like this
ifloat f2 = 010i; //doesn't treat this as octal
ifloat f3 = 0xFFFFi; //doesn't like this
if built in complex numbers are going away, this will become a non issue.
real r1 = 0b1001L; //does work!
real r2 = 010L; //does work!
real r3 = 0xFFFFL; //does work!
Yay!
float f4 = 0b1001F; //doesn't like this
float f5 = 010F; //doesn't like this
float f6 = 0xFFFFF; //umm....
Obviously, the F suffix introduces an ambiguity for hex. Not sure if the
others should be considered a problem.
What's the deal?
Is the grammar lying to me?
Is DMD not following spec?
Am I going crazy? (well, that's a given)
At the moment, I appear to be using dmd 1.033
