Description Michiel Helvensteijn 2009年07月12日 01:37:06 UTC

"For integral operands of the % operator, the sign of the result is
positive if the operands are positive, otherwise the sign of the result is
implementation defined."
should read
"For integral operands of the % operator, the result is non-negative if the operands are non-negative. Otherwise, the sign of the result is implementation defined."

Does it mean positive in the normal mathematical sense, or having the internal sign bit set to positive?

Comment 2 Stewart Gordon 2009年07月13日 14:21:45 UTC

Silly me, integral operands. Then it's correct except in the case where the right operand is zero.

Fixed dmd 1.047 and 2.032
