Re: What is the postfix for min long value?

Jonathan,

I saw this answered in another post: 
http://forum.dlang.org/post/gtaublmskqrhnbhoe...@forum.dlang.org


I.e., you can do long(-9223372036854775808UL) :)

Or long l = -9223372036854775808UL;

writeln( 18_446_744_073_709_551_615u );

But when I try to print out minimum value of long, compiler says
Error: signed integer overflow

writeln( -9_223_372_036_854_775_808 );

In case that is the wrong value, I checked it with writeln( 
long.min ); already.


Do I need to put a postfix for that number? I checked 
documentation by searching "dlang integer" etc, but couldn't 
have found any information/anything about postfix at all.


See above ^^ :D
