Bug 24028 – BigInt power operator ignores sign of exponent

As of DMD 2.104.0, the assertion in the following program fails: --- import std.bigint; void main() { auto n = BigInt(100); auto expected = BigInt(1) / BigInt(100); assert(n ^^ -1 == expected); } --- With -checkaction=context, the error message is: --- [email protected](7): BigInt(BigUint([100]), false) != BigInt(BigUint([0]), false) --- Instead of raising n to the power of -1, BigInt's ^^ overload has raised it to the power of 1.
