Description Tom Tromey 2001-10-05 13:56:00 UTC 
The current implementation of java.text.DecimalFormat
is not completely spec compliant.  For instance it
mishandles exponential notation in cases like "##0.#E0"
(the "scientific notation" case).

We should go through the DecimalFormat spec, write
mauve tests, and then bring the DecimalFormat implementation
up to spec.

Release:
current cvs

Tom,

in current mauve cvs, there are tests in the following directory: gnu/testlet/java/text/
DecimalFormat . Do they correspond to what you're speaking of in this bug report? Thanks,

Dara

Trust Tom on this one.
Comment 3 gccbugz 2003-08-18 01:00:07 UTC 
The following throws an exception coz it doesn't like the '%'
But, of course, it is valid

import java.text.*;
class fail {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("##0.00%"); } }

Forgot to add:
I'm using the RedHat current rawhide version of gcc 3.3.1
(not the latest CVS)

Fixed for 3.4 (do not know what was the patch which fixed this).
