This code below fails on DMC, proving that this is a severe back-end bug.
Interesting on DMC, the uint case does NOT fail: it inlines in that case.
Raising severity, as I believe this is one of the worse extant compiler bugs.

What's happening is that a function _DBLULNG@ is being used to convert from
double to ulong. It expects a double, but it's being given a float. So garbage
results.

#include <assert.h>
float getFloat() {
    return 5.0f;
}

int main()
{
   unsigned long j = (unsigned long)getFloat();
   assert(j==5);
   return 0;
}
