is compiled from this code:
    std.stream.stdin.read(input);
    if (input > 2) return input;

the LOCAL.1 address is pointed to the read(), but is not changing to the 
input value.
instead i get '168636723' for every input i give in..

anyone experienced with it ?
is it a compiler bug or my problem ?

Cheers,

I'm not sure why read() is behaving like it is, but I would try using scanf() instead. read() is for binary input. scanf() is for text input. Are you typing in values from the console or are you piping something into stdin? -Ben

If you are typing at the console you need to use scanf. For example, import std.stream; int main() { uint input; stdin.scanf("%u",&input); stdout.writefln("you typed ", input); return 0; }
