Yes. I understand the limitations of strtod.
Much of this thread could have been avoided if I had used:
f_val = 6.2e-21;
f_val *= 1.0e-21;
in my example code. I used the union example because that's how I found
the problem, I used the double to float cast because that's how I tested
that the compiler thought I had a reasonable floating point value, and
it still crashed.
Can we pretend my example was:
f_val = 6.2e-21;
f_val *= 1.0e-21;
g_string_sprtinf(pGStr,"%6.2f",f_val);
instead?
Two valid floats, a valid operation, a valid format string of "%6.2f", a
call to g_string_sprintf() from which control never returns.
