%x and floats

2011-02-24 Thread Trass3r 
Why doesn't this work:

import std.stdio;
void main()
{
float a,b=0;
writefln("%x %x", a, b);
}

std.format.FormatError: std.format floating

That is because %x is for formatting integers.  If you want a hex 
representation of a floating-point number, use %a.
