As discussed in this thread:

Shorter version of the bug:

import std.stdio;

void calculate1(float a, float b)
{
       float s1 = 1.0f - a;

       float s2 = a * b;
       writeln(s2);
       writeln(a * b);
}

void calculate2(float a, float b)
{
       float s1 = 1.0 - a;
       float s2 = a * b;
       writeln(s2);
       writeln(a * b);
}

void calculate3(double a, double b)
{
       double s1 = 1.0 - a;
       double s2 = a * b;
       writeln(s2);
       writeln(a * b);
}

int main()
{      
       writeln("calculate1:");
       calculate1(0.75f,2.0f);
       writeln("calculate2:");
       calculate2(0.75f,2.0f);
       writeln("calculate3:");
       calculate3(0.75f,2.0f);
       return 0;
}


-------------------------------------------------
+       The complete output
-------------------------------------------------

calculate1:
1.5
1.5
calculate2:
0
1.5
calculate3:
1.5
