The value it generates is slightly different than the value when using the math header files. This used to work correctly some time ago (months). I just took the time to track the problem down in our regression suite.
#include<math.h> #include<stdio.h> #include<stdlib.h>
int main() { double value = M_LN10;
printf("generate const. - value: %0.15f.\n", value); printf("expected const. - value: 2.302585092994046.\n");
printf("\n"); value = strtod("2.30258509299404568402", 0);
/* Note: the last digit is incorrect. */ printf("generate strtod - value: %0.15f.\n", value); printf("expected strtod - value: 2.302585092994046.\n");
return 0; }
Yep, looks like the significand misses its mark by 1.
strtod is from newlib. the last change in the code is one year and half ago
