Final comments?
Hi Jerry, two quick comments.
I wanted to ask how are you testing the ongoing work: I remember you had
a script comparing printf to the inserters and that we still had some
minor problems (proably false alarms) in corner cases... I would be
happy to run something similar on a few 64-bit architectures but maybe I
will not be really able to do that during the next 1 & half week or so.
Let's keep in touch.
Another unrelated comment: are you taking into account in the design
that bug with grouping & zero precision (no decimal point, anyway) that
I mentioned some time ago? Basically, we look for the decimal point and
we group everything to its left: if we don't find it, we group also the
exponential part, if present! Fixing it in the current framework its
feasible but very ugly, and I was wondering whether we can arrange for
the new framework to make it easier...
Paolo.
