Disregard all that above, looks like someone used a "double"

yes the line you highlight is for DMD64 (windows of course),
which explains well why x86 is OK since it uses the C runtime
library by DigitalMars (aka snn.lib). Now I'm not quite sure if
it should be
T tval = val;
because of the comment just after:
convert early to get "inf" in case of overflow
