From 8e2ff312295495ae434a9dc889f7e1e76dca5e03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Dickinson Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:06:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Blocked revisions 71663 via svnmerge ........ r71663 | mark.dickinson | 2009-04-16 20:52:09 +0100 (Thu, 16 Apr 2009) | 15 lines Issue #1580: use short float repr where possible. - incorporate and adapt David Gay's dtoa and strtod into the Python core - on platforms where we can use Gay's code (almost all!), repr(float) is based on the shortest sequence of decimal digits that rounds correctly. - add sys.float_repr_style attribute to indicate whether we're using Gay's code or not - add autoconf magic to detect and enable SSE2 instructions on x86/gcc - slight change to repr and str: repr switches to exponential notation at 1e16 instead of 1e17, str switches at 1e11 instead of 1e12 ........ -- 2.47.3
