> It'd probably have to be touched up a bit.This may be an understatement. :-)In the first 50 lines of the 3897-line dtoa.c file, I see this warning:/* On a machine with IEEE extended-precision registers, it is * necessary to specify double-precision (53-bit) rounding precision * before invoking strtod or dtoa. [...] */It seems to me that figuring out how and when to do this, andwriting and testing the appropriate configure/pyport/whatevercode, is already a nontrivial task. |
