Nevertheless, there is also a closely related point in my comment, which is that in default rounding mode (to nearest), the Annex F says that the rounding should be done to the nearest. And I understand that this applies to *all input*, so it seems to me that this supersedes the "recommended practice" paragraph which restricts the application to only some input (those with less significant digits than DECIMAL_DIG). -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3479 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
