New submission from Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com>: The current defines in pyport.h mean that we don't use Gay's code for short float repr if there's evidence of double rounding.
However, there's one situation where double rounding occurs and we can still use Gay's code: namely, when the configure script has worked out how to get and set the x87 control word. The pyport.h code should be fixed so that we use Gay's code in that situation. ---------- assignee: marketdickinson components: Interpreter Core keywords: easy messages: 86073 nosy: eric.smith, marketdickinson priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Legacy float repr is used unnecessarily on some platforms type: behavior versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5781> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
