Hi list, I'm working on factor's number parsing/printing. I'd like some inputs on the following problem:
Basically the problem can be seen from this paste: http://pastebin.com/jxV8UKG2 : setting number-base to 2 or 8 gives pprint-errors for floats. So we have the number-base variable in prettyprint.config to chose the prettyprinter base for numbers. For reals, it supports 2 8 10 and 16. For floats, only 10 and 16. Since 99804fd054d5, using an unsupported base throws an exception instead of defaulting to base 10. What should we do ? - go back to the previous behavior: default to base 10 ? - add new variables to configure rationals (integers + ratios) and floats separately? - allow floats to be printed in base 2 and 8 ? (for info the parser supports it: 0b1.1p0 0o1.4p0 0x1.8p0 all parse to 1.5) - a mix of the previous ? What do you think ? Jon
