Bug 240 – No file or line information in error message "cannot implicitly convert expression (-1) of type ulong to double"

The error message from compiling the following code does not give any file or line information. In large projects, not having the file and line information makes finding the error difficult. Code: void main() { double maxValue = ulong.max; } Command: dmd tmp.d Output: cannot implicitly convert expression (-1) of type ulong to double
