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

use std.math;
float f = float.max;
f += 1.0;
assert(IeeeFlags.overflow) //failure

On the contrary, float.max + float.max will overflow. The
behavior is the same

On the contrary, float.max + float.max will overflow. The
behavior is the same for double and real.
