@jeking3 , I will now re-enable the tests. But please note that the problem
is at the C++ compiler level. The pre-2015 versions of the Visual Studio C++
compilers uses a different parsing and formatting algorithms on floating point
numbers. Check this link out:

In the light of these, the best solution seems checking the compiler
version, and doing the tests accordingly.
