There are some tests in Lib/test/test_strtod.py, that I added around two weeks ago and have been updating since; I don't have mechanism for running tests with the altered STRTOD_DIGLIM value, though. > I presume you meant *with* bigcomp enabled?

Just as a stress test, really: a failure that occurs with bigcomp disabled might indicate a problem that could also occur with bigcomp enabled. Or someone might want to alter the value of the STRTOD_DIGLIM threshold at some later point based on performance tests; if the code is correct then it ought to be safe to do so. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7743> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
