Then why does

>> enum x = 100000000000000000;
>> enum y = 10^^17;

x store 10000000000000000?

If it were an int then it would wrap, it doesn't.

Did you try the code?

import std.stdio;
enum x = 100000000000000000;
enum y = 10^^17;

void main()
{
     ulong xx = x;
     ulong yy = y;
     writeln(x);
     writeln(y);
     writeln(xx);
     writeln(yy);
}

100000000000000000

100000000000000000

You seem to either make stuff up, misunderstand the compiler, or 
trust the docs to much. I have code that proves I'm right, why is 
it so hard for you to accept it?

You can make your claims, but it is meaningless if they are not 
true.
