Joe,
I have added the call to '!Double.isFinite(d)', the '-0.0' to '+0.0'
conversion still there.
new webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~coffeys/webrev.8015978.v3/

Hi Joe,
We can replace the "Double.isNaN(d) || Double.isInfinite(d)" with
"!Double.isFinite(d)" - I agree that this one check looks better, but
we still need to do the -0.0 -> 0.0 conversion to solve the reported
problem. And as I understand (might be wrong) modification of this
check won't help us to achieve this goal, we still need to do the
conversion:
+ //Convert -0.0 to +0.0 other values remains the same
+ d = d + 0.0;
+
Right; changing the set of Double.isFoo methods called earlier doesn't
change the need for the (d + 0.0) expression. I just noticed the
double isFoo calls when looking at the code and saw an opportunity to
use the new method.

Hello Aleksej,
Looking at the code, I have another suggestion. If this code can run
exclusively on JDK 8 or later, replace
955 if (Double.isNaN(d) || Double.isInfinite(d))
956 return(Double.toString(d));
with
955 if (!Double.isFinite(d))
956 return(Double.toString(d));
Cheers,

Joe,
I definitely like it:
1. Its a one-line change - perfect size.
2. Its fastest one from discussed previously.
3. -0.0 -> 0.0 has tests.
4. And it solves our problem.
As a result of all props the next version of webrev:

Thanks

Nice. One-line change, I guess Aleksej would love it :-)

I'll do you one better; you can turn a negative zero into a
positive zero leaving other values unchanged like this:
d = d + 0.0;
In IEEE 754 under the round-to-nearest-even rounding mode
required by Java
-0.0 + 0.0 => (+)0.0
This trick is used in various places in Java's numerical
libraries, is required behavior by our specifications, and even
has some tests for it :-)

Wouldn't be more efficient to do the following, assuming that
the full Java compilation chain respects the trickiness of 0 vs -0:
if (d == 0.0) {
d=0.0 // Jam -0 == +0 to +0, per
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#function-string
}
Division's plenty more expensive than assigning a constant,
especially on platforms that lack hardware FP division.

Hi Aleksej,
According to XPath spec, both positive and negative zero are
converted to the string 0, so it seems doesn't matter. But if
you want to detect the negative zero, you may do the following:
if (d == 0.0 && 1/d < 0.0) {
d=0.0
}
Recognizing that (-0.0 == 0.0), and (1/(-0.0) == -Infinity).
