Sun Jun 30 13:48:26 EDT 1991:
dtoa.c: adjust dtoa to allow negative ndigits for modes 3,5,7,9
(fixed-point mode); fix rounding bug in these modes when the input
.e., when the result, before rounding, would be empty but might
the result is empty (i.e., when |d| <= 5 * 10^-ndigits).
Tue Jul 2 21:44:00 EDT 1991
Correct an inefficiency introduced 2 days ago in dtoa's handling of
ntegers in modes 0, 1.
Mon Sep 9 23:29:38 EDT 1991
dtoa.c: remove superfluous declaration of size_t.
Sun Oct 6 15:34:15 EDT 1991
dtoa.c: fix another bug in modes 3,5,7,9 when the result, before
one.
Sat Jan 18 12:30:04 EST 1992
dtoa.c: add some #ifdef KR_headers lines relevant only if IBM is
for IBM and VAX arithmetic. (If __STDC__ is not defined, HUGE_VAL may
not be defined either, or it may be wrong.)
Mon Apr 27 23:13:43 EDT 1992
dtoa.c: tweak strtod (one-line addition) so the end-pointer = start
Thu May 7 18:04:46 EDT 1992
dtoa.c: adjust treatment of exponent field (in strtod) to behave
Fri Jun 19 08:29:02 EDT 1992
dtoa.c: fix a botch in placement of #ifdef __cplusplus (which only
matters if you're using a C++ compiler).
Wed Oct 21 11:23:07 EDT 1992
dtoa.c: add #ifdef Bad_float_h lines for systems with missing or
nferior float.h .
Thu Apr 22 07:54:48 EDT 1993
dtoa.c: change < to <= in line 2059:
< for(result_k = 0; sizeof(Bigint) - sizeof(unsigned long) + j < i;
---
> for(result_k = 0; sizeof(Bigint) - sizeof(unsigned long) + j <= i;
With 32-bit ints, the former could give too small a block for the return
value when, e.g., mode = 2 or 4 and ndigits = 24 (16 for 16-bit ints).
Mon Jun 21 12:56:42 EDT 1993
dtoa.c: tweak to work with 32-bit ints and 64-bit longs
Wed Jan 26 11:09:16 EST 1994
dtoa.c: fix bug in strtod's handling of numbers with very
negative exponents (e.g. 1.8826e-512), which should underflow to 0;
fix storage leak in strtod with underflows and overflows near
the underflow and overflow thresholds.

dtoa.c: if MALLOC is #defined, declare it.
Wed Jan 4 15:45:34 EST 1995
dtoa.c: add CONST qualification to tens, bigtens, tinytens (for use
on embedded systems with little spare RAM).
Fri Mar 1 08:55:39 EST 1996
g_fmt.c: honor the sign of 0 and return the first argument (buf).
Sat Jul 6 07:59:28 EDT 1996
dtoa.c: cosmetic changes: "ULong" rather than "unsigned Long";
update comments to reflect AT&T breakup.
Mon Aug 5 23:31:24 EDT 1996
dtoa.c: add comment about invoking _control87(PC_53, MCW_PC)
(or the equivalent) on 80x87 machines before calling strtod or dtoa.
Tue Dec 17 15:01:56 EST 1996

New void freedtoa(char*) for freeing values returned by dtoa; use of
freedtoa() is required if MULTIPLE_THREADS is #defined, and is merely
g_fmt.c: adjusted to invoke freedtoa().

dtoa.c: strtod: on IEEE systems, scale to avoid intermediate
underflows when the result does not underflow; compiling with
-DNO_IEEE_Scale restores the old logic. Fix a bug, revealed by
nput string 2.2250738585072012e-308, in treating input just less
than the smallest normalized number. (The bug introduced an extra
ULP of error in this special case.)
Tue May 12 11:13:04 EDT 1998
dtoa.c: strtod: fix a glitch introduced with the scaling of 19970212
that caused one-bit rounding errors in certain denormal numbers, such
as 8.44291197326099e-309, which was read as 8.442911973260987e-309.

compiled with -DNO_ERRNO); bigtens --> bigtens_D2A (a symbol meant
to be private to gdtoa.a).

gdtoa.tar.gz: more changes in response to comments from Shawn C.
Sheridan (including repair of a glitch in g_ffmt.c). For consistency
and possible convenience, there are some new functions and some name
changes to existing ones:
Old New
--- g_xLfmt
strtoQ strtopQ
--- strtopd
strtodd strtopdd
--- strtopf
strtox strtopx
--- strtopxL
--- strtorxL
--- strtoIxL
Functions strtopd and strtopf are variations of strtod and strtof,
arguments. Functions strtorf and strtord are now analogous to the
other strtor* functions in that they now have a final pointer
argument to which they write their results, and they return the
nt value they get from strtodg.
The xL family (g_xLfmt, strto[Irp]xL) is a variation of the old x
family (for 80-bit IEEE double-extended precision) that assumes the
nteresting bits stored in 3 unsigned 32-bit ints (with a "hole", 16
zero bits, in the word that holds the sign and exponent). The x
family now deals with 80-bit (5 unsigned 16-bit ints) rather than
the x family and results in strto[Ipr]x writing 80 rather than 96 bits
to their final arguments.)
Each g_*fmt routine now returns a pointer to the null character
that terminates the strings it writes, rather than a pointer to
the beginning of that string (the first argument). These routines
The second argument to g_dfmt is now pointer (to a double) rather
than a double value.
Thu Oct 29 21:54:00 EST 1998
dtoa.c: Fix bug in strtod under -DSudden_Underflow and (the default)
-DAvoid_Underflow: some numbers that should have suffered sudden
underflow were scaled inappropriately (giving nonzero return values).
Example: "1e-320" gave -3.6304123742133376e+280 rather than 0.
Mon Nov 2 15:41:16 EST 1998
dtoa.c: tweak to remove LL suffixes from numeric constants (for
compilers that offer a 64-bit long long type but do not recognize the
LL constants prescribed by C9x, the proposed update to the ANSI/ISO C
compilers.
gdtoa.tar.gz: renamed gdtoa.tgz and updated to incorporate the above
changes (of 29 Oct. and 2 Nov. 1998) to dtoa.c.
Thu Mar 25 17:56:44 EST 1999
dtoa.c, gdtoa.tgz: fix a bug in strtod's reading of 4.9e-324:
t returned 0 rather than the smallest denormal.
Mon Apr 12 10:39:25 EDT 1999
gdtoa.tgz: test/ftest.c: change %.7g to %.8g throughout.
Fri Aug 20 19:17:52 EDT 1999
gdtoa.tgz: gdtoa.c: fix two bugs reported by David Chase (thanks!):
that we not be at the bottom of the exponent range.

out and suggesting the modified test above. Also, some tweaks for
compilation with -DKR_headers.

to permit #hex input. See the comments.
Fri Sep 17 01:39:25 EDT 1999
Try again to update dtoa.c: somehow dtoa.c got put back to a version
from 3 years ago after this "changes" file was updated on 13 Sept. 1999.
One more tweak to omit a warning on some systems:
< && word0(d) & (Exp_mask & Exp_mask << 1)
---
> && word0(d) & (Exp_mask & ~Exp_msk1)
(e.g., gcc 2.95.1 under -O2). On some systems, these changes do not
affect the resulting machine code; on others, the old way of viewing
a double as a pair of ULongs is available with -DYES_ALIAS.
Tue Sep 21 09:21:25 EDT 1999
gdtoa.tgz: changes analogous to those of 17 Sept. 1999 to dtoa.c to
avoid trouble with aggressively optimizing compilers.

errno assignments (by strtod and the core converter, strtodg).
Tue Jan 18 16:35:31 EST 2000
dtoa.c and gdtoa.tgz: strtod: modify the test inserted yesterday so

t did not show up in several other testbase configurations.
Wed Feb 7 12:56:11 EST 2001
dtoa.c: fix bug (possible infinite loop, e.g., with
case of a power of 2 to be rounded down one ulp. Add test (required
by changes of 20001113) for the extra special case of 2^-1075 (half
the smallest denormal).
gdtoa.tgz: corresponding adjustments to strtod.c and strtodg.c.
Tue Mar 13 00:46:09 EST 2001
gdtoa.tgz: gdtoa/strtodg.c: fix bug in handling values exactly half

Tue Apr 13 00:28:14 MDT 2004
gdtoa.tgz: strtod.c: fix glitch when both INFNAN_CHECK and No_Hex_NaN

Wed Jan 5 22:39:17 MST 2005
gdtoa.tgz:
gethex.c: fix the bug reported by Stefan Farfeleder of ignoring a
binary-exponent-part if the converted number is zero.
strto[pr]x.c: fix bug reported by Stefan Farfeleder in setting the
exponent of denormals (which should be 0, not 1).
g_xfmt.c: fix a corresponding bug with denormals.
strtodg.c: fix a bug under IBM (base 16) arithemtic reported
by Greg Alexander: a correction to the binary exponent for changes to
the exponent of a native double value for avoiding overflow had to be
multiplied by 4 ("e2 <<= 2;").
Various files: minor tweaks for portability.
Sat Jan 15 15:36:03 MST 2005
gdtoa.tgz: gethex.c: fix a glitch introduced last week (and reported
by Stefan Farfelder) with 0x forms with no nonzero digits before the "."
character, e.g., 0x.1 (which was rendered as 0 rather than .0625).
gdtoa.tgz: many files: add automatic computation of gd_qnan.h for

Fix bug in strtod.c and strtodg.c under which, e.g., -.nan was read
as NaN rather than unacceptable input (causing return 0). Adjust

Sun Jan 16 18:22:13 MST 2005
gdtoa.tgz: strtodg.c: fix long-standing bug in handling input

Edward Moy for reporting this problem.
gdtoa.tgz: Fix some bugs with -DJust_16.
Thu Sep 22 22:40:16 MDT 2005
strtod.c: unless prevented by -DNO_FENV_H, include C99's fenv.h
and with hex input, get the current rounding mode from fegetround().
With decimal input, strtod honors the rounding mode automatically.

strtodg.c: fix a bug with handling numbers very near the largest
Thanks to Edward Moy (emoy at apple dot com) for pointing this out.
g_Qfmt.c: change strcpy to strcp. Thanks to J. T. Conklin

test/xtest.c: fix some subscript bugs.
test/x.ou0, test/x.ou1, test/xL.: update in response to the above fix to
test/xtest.c.
test/makefile: add -lm to some link lines (needed for fegetround).
Sun Jan 21 20:26:44 MST 2007
strtodg.c: fix a botch in the test of whether to increase rvbits
before terminating the big for(;;) loop with dsign true: change
if (hi0bits(rvb->x[(rvb->wds - 1) >> kshift])
!= j)
rvbits++;
to
if (hi0bits(rvb->x[rvb->wds - 1]) != j)
rvbits++;
Example of input where this bug bit: 1.9e27. Thanks to Edward Moy
<emoy@apple.com> for providing this example. Also, simplify the
test/README: add comment that strtodt needs to operate with 53-bit
Sat Mar 15 11:44:31 MDT 2008
dtoa.c and gdtoa.tgz: with -DINFNAN_CHECK and without
-DGDOTA_NON_PEDANTIC_NANCHECK, conform to the ill-advised prescription
n the C99 standard of consuming (...) in "nan(...)" even when ...
s not of the expected form. Allow an optional 0x or 0X to precede
the string of hex digits in the expected form of ... .
gdtoa.tgz: gethex.c: have, e.g., strtod("0xyz",&se) set se to "xyz".
Thu Aug 28 22:37:35 MDT 2008
dtoa.c and gdtoa.tgz: Fix a bug in strtod when compiled with
-DHonor_FLT_ROUNDS: in rounding modes other than "to nearest",
the largest finite floating-point number. Since FLT_ROUNDS is buggy
on some (Linux) systems in that it does not reflect calls on
fesetround(), when Honor_FLT_ROUNDS is #defined, get the curren
Trust_FLT_ROUNDS is also #defined.

gdtoa/strtod.c: adjust scaling of tinytens[4] (as in dtoa.c) to
avoid double rounding when dealing with numbers near the bottom of
the exponent range.
Sat Aug 30 23:37:07 MDT 2008
gdtoa/gethex.c: ensure *bp is set to something (NULL if nothing else).
Bring gdtoa/xsum0.out and gdtoa/test/xsum0.out up to date.
Tue Sep 9 22:08:30 MDT 2008
gdtoa/strto*.c and gdtoa/*fmt.c: if compiled with -DUSE_LOCALE, use
the current locale's decimal point character string.
gdtoa/gdtoa.c: trim trailing zeros in a missed case (e.g., ndigits = 6
on 1020302).
dtoa.c and gdtoa/strtod.c: on systems with IEEE arithmetic (and without
NO_ERRNO being defined) set ERANGE for denormal values as well as real
underflows.
gdtoa/strtodg.c: fix an off-by-one bug in rounding to the largest
gdtoa/*fmt.c and gdtoa/gdtoa.h: bufsize changed from unsigned to size_t.
gdtoaimp.h, *fmt.c: change in calling sequence to internal g__fmt(),
Relevant routines (see README) honor the current rounding mode if
compiled with -DHonor_FLT_ROUNDS on IEEE-arithmetic systems that provide
the C99 fegetround() function.
gdtoa/test/getround.c can optionally be compiled with
-DHonor_FLT_ROUNDS and/or -DUSE_MY_LOCALE for manual testing of gdtoa.a
compiled with -DHonor_FLT_ROUNDS or -DUSE_LOCALE.
Fri Oct 10 20:07:15 MDT 2008
gdtoa/gethex.c: fix a bug reading hexadecimal floating-point values
bug caused the values to be read as zero with endptr set incorrectly.
Tue Oct 28 00:14:08 MDT 2008
gdtoa/strtod.c: fix a comment glitch (with commented {}).
Tue Nov 11 23:05:25 MST 2008
gdtoa: fix a glitch in the strto* routines when compiled with
-DUSE_LOCALE and the locale's decimal-point string is two or more
characters long. Wrong conversions were then possible.
Fri Dec 5 18:20:36 MST 2008
gdtoa.tgz: fix bugs with reading C99-style hexadecimal floating-point
values when compiled with -DPack_16; on IEEE-arithmetic systems, make
consistent with dtoa.c, which has worked this way for a while.)
dtoa.c: add recognition of C99-style hexadecimal floating-point
values (unless compiled with NO_HEX_FP is #defined).
Thu Dec 11 23:10:23 MST 2008
dtoa.c: omit an unused variable.
Fri Jan 2 22:45:33 MST 2009
dtoa.c: tweak to banish some compiler warnings.
Sun Mar 1 20:57:22 MST 2009
dtoa.c, gdtoa/{g__fmt.c, gethex.c, strtod.c, strtodg.c}: change malloc
to MALLOC.
dtoa.c and gdtoa/gdtoaimp.h and gdtoa/misc.c: reduce Kmax, and use
MALLOC and FREE or free for huge blocks, which are possible only in
latter case, I have an alternate approach that runs much faster
and uses less memory, but finding time to get it ready for distribution
may take a while.
Mon Mar 16 00:32:43 MDT 2009
dtoa.c: Fix a bug under -DUSE_LOCALE in handling "decimal point"
dtoa.c and gdtoa/misc.c: Remove a buggy test activated with
-DDEBUG.
dtoa.c and gdtoa/gdtoa.c: simplify logic for "4 leading 0 bits".
dtoa.c: Add logic (that can be disabled with -DNO_STRTOD_BIGCOMP
and that) to strtod for more efficiently handling a very long input
necessary comparing the whole string with a decimal expansion to
STRTOD_DIGLIM digits long (default 40), and for now only applies to
tests). This only appears worthwhile for absurdly long input strings,
dtoa.c, gdtoa.tgz: tweaks (mostly adding unnecessary parens) to
to banish erroneous warnings about uninitialized variables, the tweaks
Sat Apr 11 23:25:58 MDT 2009
dtoa.c: fix glitch in compiling with -DNo_Hex_NaN and the bug of
accepting (e.g.) ".nan" or ".inf" as NaN or Infinity.
gdtoa.tgz: tweaks to silence warnings from "gcc -Wstrict-aliasing=2";
update xsum0.out files.
Sun Apr 19 23:40:24 MDT 2009
dtoa.c, gdtoa/misc.c: do not attempt to allocate large memory blocks
from the private memory pool (which was an unlikely event, but a bug).
gdtoa/strtopx.c, gdtoa/strtopxL.c, gdtoa/strtorx.c, gdtoa/strtorxL.c:
not supply this bit) are appropriate for Sparc quad precision (probably
known as long double with most current compilers).
Wed Dec 9 08:14:52 MST 2009
gdtoa.tgz: add gdtoa/printf.c* and modify makefile so "make Printf"
adds a printf to gdtoa.a (to be accessed with #include "stdio1.h" to
On Intel/AMD i386, x86_64, and Sparc systems, this adds formats %La,
%Le, %Lf and %Lg to handle long double. On x86_64 systems, it also
adds %Lqa, %Lqe, %Lqf and %Lqg to handle 128-bit bit types (called
__float128 by gcc and _Quad by the Intel compiler). In gdtoa/test,
"make pf_test" tests this printf (provided the system is an i386,
x86_64, or Sparc system). On x86_64 systems, "make pf_testLq" tests
the %Lq... formats (briefly).
Mon Jan 11 22:25:17 MST 2010
dtoa.c: fix a minor performance bug and, under compilation with -DDEBUG,
an erroneous error message "oversize b in quorem" in strtod's processing
of some input that underflows to zero. Also fix a bug in bigcomp()'s
that bigcomp applied were ignoring the effects of denormalization.
Sat Jan 23 00:25:54 MST 2010
dtoa.c: Fix some glitches in recently introduced changes meant to
near the smallest representable number and rounding up by a bit causes
a quorem return > 9 (which in this case is not a bug). Fix a memory
leak in the unlikely case of overflow only being detected after some
by many zeros, and then some nonzero digits. (This does not happen
quick test for underflow (i.e., zero result) on input at the bottom of
the exponent range. Thanks to Mark Dickinson for pointing these bugs
out.
dtoa.c and gdtoa/strtod.c: Fix an obscure bug in strtod's handling
of some inputs of many digits at the bottom of the exponent range:
compiled without -DNO_IEEE_SCALE and, for dtoa.c, when compiled with
-DNO_STRTOD_BIGCOMP.
gdtoa/test/testnos3: add some examples that went wrong before
the present changes.

dtoa.c: more tweaks relevant only to absurd input.
Tue Feb 2 23:05:34 MST 2010
dtoa.c: add test for setting errno = ERANGE when input of many digits
s rounded to Infinity or underflows to zero. Fix a memory leak in
gdtoa/strtod.c: make some corresponding changes.
Wed Jul 7 09:25:46 MDT 2010
dtoa.c: adjust to use bigcomp when necessary when compiled with
-DHonor_FLT_ROUNDS (and without -DNO_STRTOD_BIGCOMP), and the rounding
mode is torwards +Infinity. An input (supplied by Rick Regan
<exploringbinary@gmail.com>) where this matters is

dtoa.c, gdtoa/dtoa.c, gdtoa/gdtoa.c: fix bugs with -DROUND_BIASED
Mon Sep 27 13:43:30 MDT 2010
gdtoa/gdtoa.c: fix a glitch (not revealed by compilation) in the
changes of 15 Sept. 2010.

dtoa.c: fix a bug related to bigcomp: decimal strings with all
zeros before the decimal point more than 40 significant digits that
Example: .010000000000000000057612911342378542997169 .
Thanks to Rick Regan <exploringbinary@gmail.com> for reporting the
dtoa.c, gdtoa/gdtoaimp.h, gdtoa/strtod.c: if
ROUND_BIASED_without_Round_Up is #defined, assume ROUND_BIASED and
omit the quick computation that would use ordinary arithmetic to
compute the correctly rounded result with one rounding error. If you
(and thus retain the quick computation when it is appropriate).
gdtoa/gdtoa.h: change default Long from long to int (with the goal
of portability when compiling without -DLong=... specified). On some
dtoa.c, gdtoa/gdtoa.c: fix a glith with ndigits with mode = 4 at
the bottom of the exponent range, e.g., 1e-323.
dtoa.c, gdtoaimp.h: add comment that defining No_leftright will
dtoa.c: fix a glitch under compilation with Honor_FLT_ROUNDS and
NO_HEX_FP #defined.
gdota.tgz: add field int_max to struct FPI and adjust gdtoa.c and
*fmt.c so gdtoa.c tests against fpi->int_max rather than Int_max.
This only affects some conversions by g_ffmt.c, which in some cases
tests/testnos.
dtoa.c: augment a test in bigcomp() to correctly compare a long
nput string of digits with a computed string after all of the
nput string has otherwise been processed. This matters only
dtoa.c: add a comment that gcc's -ffast-math flag disables IEEE
arithmetic (whence dtoa and strtod may not function right if you
use this flag or related flags).
dtoa.c and gdtoa.tgz: to avoid a possible one-time race when
threads, replace hexdig_init() with static initialization.
gdtoa.tgz: add variants g_ddfmt_p(), g_dfmt_p(), g_ffmt_p(),
the rendering of Infinity and NaN. For more details, see the
updated README.
dtoa.c: fix an obscure memory leak in gethex(). (See the
new ret_tinyf label.) Thanks to avernar@gmail.com for pointing
this issue out.
dtoa.c: fix a possible glitch with strtod in deciding whether a
be rounded to zero. (The fix is to force use of bigcomp() when at the
bottom of the exponent range and we otherwise would have returned 0.)
Thanks to Rick Regan <exploringbinary@gmail.com> for sending an
example that illustrated the bug.
dtoa.c, gdtoa.tgz: when strtod computes its starting approximation,
allow z to involve one more digit for IEEE arithmetic and two more
(water.qian@gmail.com) for suggesting this change, which makes some
conversions faster.
dtoa.c: "ifdef KR_headers" stuff removed; modifications to
"#ifdef MULTIPLE_THREADS": function
void set_max_dtoa_threads(unsigned int n);
s provided and
unsigned int dtoa_get_threadno(void);
s expected to be available to return the current thread number.
After set_max_dtoa_threads(n), calls on strtod and dtoa by
threads with thread numbers < n avoid calls on ACQUIRE_DTOA_LOCK
and FREE_DTOA_LOCK by keeping thread-specific copies of entities
for which changes by other threads would otherwise cause trouble.
See the updated comments in dtoa.c about MULTIPLE_THREADS.
dtoa.c: fix a glitch (possible fault) in the updates of 20150112.
dtoa.c: add a test for dtoa() to return "1" under mode 4 when
converting some very small powers of 10, such as 1e-322 with
ndigits = 4 and 1e-319 with ndigits = 7 (examples provided by
dtoa.c: fix glitches when compiled with both MULTIPLE_THREADS and
Honor_FLT_ROUNDS #defined (a senseless combination).
gdtoa.tgz: make changes similar to the "#ifdef MULTIPLE_THREADS"
changes to dtoa.c of 20150112. Adjust gdtoa(...,mode,...) to assume
"round near" when mode is 0 or 1. Make various tweaks to banish
(useless) warnings from "gcc -Wall -Wextra". Thanks to Jarkko
Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi> for advocating the latter exercise (and
correcting a typo in README).
gdtoa.tgz: in gdtoa/test, adjust dItest.c, ddtest.c, dtest,c, ftest.c
to banish pedantic warnings that appear with "gcc -O2 -Wall -Wextra"
but not with "gcc -O -Wall -Wextra".
dtoa.c: fix glitches with floating-point values in hexadecimal
notation: some values that should overflow to (appropriately signed)
gdtoa.tgz: fix a bug with hexadecimal input greater than the
values should round to the smallest denormal rather than to zero.
Thanks to Albert Chan <albertmcchan@yahoo.com> for bug reports.
dtoa.c: fix a bug whereby dtoa(...,mode,...) with, e.g., mode = 2 or
An example provided by Albert Chan: dtoa(81320560005., 2, 10,...).
gdtoa.tgz: fix the analogous bug in gdtoa/dtoa.c and gdtoa/gdtoa.c
and apply the bug fix of 20151020 to gdtoa/dtoa.c.
dtoa.c: new variant dtoa_r() of dtoa(), with new trailing arguments
char *s0 and size_t s0len. When s0len is large enough to accommodate
the desired return value (including a trailing NULL byte) and possibly
dtoa_r(..., rve, s0, s0len)
*rve - (char*)0 should succeed in returning s0.
On systems with 64-bit integer arithmetic and IEEE arithmetic, new
logic in dtoa.c sometimes makes strtod(), dtoa(), and dtoa_r() faster
than before -- an order of magnitude or more faster in some cases.
The new logic can be suppressed by compilation with -DNO_BF96 or
-DNO_LONG_LONG. Thanks to Albert Chan <albertmcchan@yahoo.com> for
dtoa.c, gdtoa.tgz (file dtoa.c): Fix a bug with dtoa mode 0 when
Honor_FLT_ROUNDS is defined: with some inputs and nondefault rounding
modes (e.g., 1.23 with round toward zero), the returned string was off
by one. When the new 64-bit integer logic is used, the test in
question is very unlikely to be used. This is another bug reported by
Albert Chan.
dtoa.c: add "ll" suffix to long long decimal constants (array pfive).
dtoa.c: fix some glitches in obscure cases; remove
"#ifdef DELAY_URES" logic, which gave wrong results in rare cases.
dtoa.c: fix more rarely seen bugs with dtoa()'s rounding of final
dtoa.c: fix some glitches in strtod() when Honor_FLT_ROUNDS is
been rounded to +- the smallest denormal, and +-Infinity was returned
for some hexadecimal strings with huge values that should have been
gdtoa.tgz: analogous bug fixes to those of 20160505.
dtoa.c: fix glitches with some denormals and some directed roundings.
dtoa.c: fix strtod overflow tests.
dtoa.c: strtod: fix rounding bugs with some denormals and with some
n the final digit with modes 2 and 3.
dtoa.c: strtod: fix a glitch that caused some values less than the
n rare cases incorrectly avoided a longer computation; dtoa: fix a
dtoa.c: tighten a test that occasionally falsely indicated
unlikely cases, the value returned by strtod was off by one bit.
Fix some tests used with directed roundings that sometimes caused
(and dota_r) modes 2 and 3 to return off-by-one values. Thanks
to Albert Chan for providing examples.
dtoa.c: strtod: tighten a variant, missed yesterday, of a test
that occasionally falsely indicated sufficiency of an approximate
computation. Also apply to denormals a test hitherto only applied to
normal numbers for sufficiency of an approximate computation.
dtoa.c (versions >= 20160429, without -DNO_BF96): fix more glitches
dtoa.c: strtod (without -DNO_BF96): minor efficiency improvement on some
nputs with more than 19 significant digits.
dtoa.c (without -DNO_BF96): strtod: fix glitches with directed
-DSET_INEXACT.
dtoa.c (without -DNO_BF96): strtod: fix a bug in rounding some
Thanks to Albert Chan for providing examples of the strtod bug.
dtoa.c (without -DNO_BF96): strtod: fix a rarely seen 1-bit error
converting strings of more than 19 digits. Thanks to Albert Chan for
examples.
dtoa.c (without -DNO_BF96): minor performance improvement on some
dtoa.c: tweak for C++ compilation with MALLOC or REALLOC #defined.
dtoa.c: make errno assignments via a macro, Set_errno(x), that by
errno.h, such as "#define Set_errno(x) _set_errno(x)", which works
not known to be necessary with any of those compilers. Note that
a local errno.h (included in dtoa.c via #include "errno.h") probably
dtoa.c: fix glitches (compile errors) with compilation under
-DSudden_Underflow .
strtodg.c in gdtoa.c: fix a glitch, introduced 20160506, with some
strtoIg.c in gdtoa.c: undo some changes, probably of 20160506, that
caused trouble with subnormal values, such as 1.23e-320, on which
values differing by one in the least-significant bit.
test/dt.c: when compiled with -DUSE_fpinit, initially invoke
fpinit_ASL() (found in the AMPL/solver interface library) to set Intel
test/dtest.c: change output to say "strtord consumes" rather than
"strtod consumes".
test/d.out: update to reflect the above change to dtest.c.
