           Summary: (1.23).stringof  generates bad code
           Product: D
           Version: 1.023
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: wrong-code
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: clugdbug at yahoo.com.au


Any floating point literal fails to compile inside .stringof, for example
1.23.stringof. 
Wrapping it in () allows it to compile, but it's buggy:

pragma(msg, (25.5).stringof  ~ (3.01).stringof);
// prints 3.013.01

Workaround: Appending a "" makes it work correctly. This suggests a memory
corruption problem.
pragma(msg, (25.5).stringof  ~ "" ~ (3.01).stringof);
