windows64/linux64 Error: cannot implicitly convert expression of type ulong to int

[Anastasios Tsiolakidis]

Hello,

this is perhaps something for d.learning, except that I don't see how! I found a small D program on Facebook http://pastebin.ca/2315433 , and compiling it with all 3 implementations on my Ubuntu 12.10 gives this "common" eror, in 2 implementations with more verbose output


h3.d(72): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (g0.length) of type ulong to int


On Windows 7-64 however it compiles just fine with dmd2. From a discussion on this list I concluded this error is "fundamental" and don't expect it to be configurable with a compiler switch or whatever. Nor do I expect the dmd package to ship with fundamentally different config files on windows and linux. What's going on?
Thanks
