           Summary: libquadmath: strtoflt128 - C99 hex floating point
                    format missing
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

        ReportedBy: burnus@gcc.gnu.org


(At some point, I - or someone else - should really create a libquadmath
component in Bugzilla.)

strtoflt128 currently does not support the C99 hex floating point format

However, there is: "gethex" in gdtoa/strtodg.c (called from strtoflt128) thus
it might already be implemented.

>From POSIX 2003 for strtod:

"The expected form of the subject sequence is an optional plus or minus sign,
 then one of the following:
 [...]
 * A 0x or 0X, then a non-empty sequence of hexadecimal digits optionally
   containing a radix character, then an optional binary exponent part"
