From a71c22fdf0bae4a4d89327a78ab168b53a9d020f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2010 09:50:49 -0800 Subject: od: fix bugs in displaying floating-point values * NEWS: Describe patch. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add ftoastr. * src/od.c: Include ftoastr.h, not float.h. (FLT_DIG, DBL_DIG): Remove. No need to verify LDBL_DIG. (FMT_BYTES_ALLOCATED): No need to worry about floating point now, since this format is no longer used for floating point. (PRINT_FIELDS): New macro, with most of the guts of the old PRINT_TYPE. (PRINT_TYPE): Rewrite to use PRINT_FIELDS. (PRINT_FLOATTYPE): New macro. This uses the new functions from ftoastr. (print_float, print_double, print_long_double): Reimplement using PRINT_FLOATTYPE. (decode_one_format): Calculate field widths based on ftoastr-supplied macros. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/od-float. * tests/misc/od-float: New file. --- NEWS | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 1da7db2fc..ca6facb9c 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -2,6 +2,10 @@ GNU coreutils NEWS -*- outline -*- * Noteworthy changes in release ?.?
