I have found a nice paper, "Extending a C-like Language for Portable

They present a simple scalar program in C:
struct data_t {
int key;
int other;
};
int search(data_t* data , int N) {
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
int x = data[i].key;
if (4 < x & x <= 8) return x;
}
return -1;
}
I don't know what that code does. I think the if statement is always
true. Try compiling it in D.
test.d(8): Error: 4 < x must be parenthesized when next to operator &
test.d(8): Error: x <= 8 must be parenthesized when next to operator &
Making that an error was such a good idea.
