Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: I think the next step on my side is to remove _PyOS_double_to_string, and make all of the internal code call PyOS_double_to_string. The distinction is that _PyOS_double_to_string gets passed a buffer and length, but PyOS_double_to_string returns allocated memory that must be freed. David Gay's code (_Py_dg_dtoa) returns allocated memory, so that's the easiest interface to propagate internally.
That's the approach we used in the py3k branch. I'll start work on it. So Mark's work should be mostly config stuff and hooking up Gay's code to PyOS_double_to_string. I think it will basically match the py3k version. The existing _PyOS_double_to_string will become the basis for the fallback code for use when PY_NO_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR is defined (and it will then be renamed PyOS_double_to_string and have its signature changed to match). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7117> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
