Is that normal?
use std.math;
float f = float.max;
f += 1.0;
assert(IeeeFlags.overflow) //failure
assert(f == float.inf) //failure, f is in fact float.max
On the contrary, float.max + float.max will overflow. The
behavior is the same for double and real.

It computes the difference between float.max and the next
smaller reprensentable number in floating point. The difference
printed by the program is
