This is a C99 extension to strtod over original ANSI C90 which is what newlib started with. I'll start working on it, but don't expect anything too quick.

This is a newlib issue. I redirected this to the appropriate mailing list newlib AT sourceware DOT org.

Hi,
atof (and hence strtod) on hexadecimal numbers results in 0.0 (errno of 0). This may be related to an old issue where NaN isnt correctly parsed. I believe it isnt correct behaviour:

I've tested it for integers in the range 0x8000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF. It works properly on
ubuntu dapper, gcc 4.1 on i386; debian stable, gcc 3.3 on amd64 sunos ?, gcc 3.4 on sparc
I'm using standard cygwin distribution, which uses gcc 3.4.4 (cygming special)
Sample code:
#include "limits.h" #include <iostream.h> #include "errno.h"
int main()
{ cout << ULONG_MAX << endl; cout << 0xFFFFFFFF << endl;
errno = 0; cout << atof("0xFFFFFFFF") << endl; cout << errno << endl;
errno = 0; cout << strtod("0xFFFFFFFF", NULL) << endl; cout << errno << endl;
}
Is this being fixed? I could find a mention of it before. Does anyone know a simple workaround?
Thanks Paul
