[dmd-internals] Interesting codegen problem (issue 9331)

[H. S. Teoh]

Yesterday, I had some spare time so I was rummaging through the
bugtracker, and found this rather interesting issue:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9331

I found that the issue is NOT with the value of ulong.max, but with the
codegen producing wrong code due to what looks like a mistaken
assumption about value sizes. I'd love to dig deeper, but I've never
touched DMD's backend code before so I've no idea where to even start.

Maybe somebody who does can take a look at this? :)
