Posted: 12/02/08 10:29:36 When I try and compile the Regex module using gdc, I get the following error: warning - /gdc/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/d/4.1.2/tango/text/Regex.d:1334: Error: implicit conversion of expression (this.next_tag - 1LU) of type ulong to uint can cause loss of data The tango.text.Regex code that generates this is: uint tagCount() { return next_tag-1; } This appears to be a 64-bit related problem.

IMHO size_t should be used as much as nowhere (maybe except c code linking cases) (AFAIK D has fixed type sizes to prevent sizing hell). EDIT: size_t is also welcome in array indexing as described here: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/portability.html at 32 to 64 Bit Portability section P.S. We all poor programmers are waiting on the Regex module update (or at least me ;P )
