I and Don have asked (in Bugzilla and elsewhere) to change the built-in names into sbyte and ubyte, to avoid the common confusions between signed and unsigned bytes in D, but Walter was deaf to this. > But what really surprises me is that these unsigned to signed conversions > happen implicitly.

Add your vote here (I have voted this), a bug report from 07 2006, but Walter doesn't like this warning, and warnings in general too: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=259 Bye, bearophile
