> 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, and writing and testing the appropriate configure/pyport/whatever code, is already a nontrivial task. |
