In case of overflow, the behavior of these functions is rigidly specified: If the correct value overflows and default rounding is in effect, plus or minus HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL is returned (according to the return type and sign of the value), and the value of the macro ERANGE is stored in errno. But in case of underflow, implementations are given more leeway: If the result underflows the functions return a value whose magnitude is no greater than the smallest normalized positive number in the return type; whether errno acquires the value ERANGE is implementation-defined. Thus the fallback implementation can (and does) portably detect overflow, but it can't portably detect underflow. However, glibc (and presumably other high-quality C library implementations) will reliably set errno to ERANGE in case of underflow as well, and it'll also return the nearest denormal number to the correct value (zero in case of true underflow), which allows callers to succesfully parse denormal numbers. So since we can't be perfect here, this patch takes the best effort approach of assuming a high quality C library implementation with respect to this underflow behavior, and refines our implementation to try to distiguish between a denormal result and true underflow by inspecting strtod's return value. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * src/c++17/floating_from_chars.cc (from_chars_impl): In the ERANGE case, distinguish between a denormal result and true underflow by checking if the return value is 0.
