There's also the route of writing our own float to string function, rather than using ostringstream. Then it'd be even more portable since we could be consistent between different c++ compilers. And, if we ever write my fabled llvm backend, we wouldn't have to have 2 string formatters. > The 'right' solution is to use, for example: > > str_float (x, (width=10, prec=5, fmt=fixed)) > > [where the second argument is one of those new fangled > record things ..] Or something similar of course .. :) I like that :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
