Subject: Behavior of %F
Date: Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:19:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A2CF3CD.70807@lexifi.com> (raw)
Hello,
The behavior of Printf w.r.t. %F changed recently.
Before (OCaml 3.10.0, and presumably 3.11.0):
# Printf.sprintf "%F" 1.;;
- : string = "1."
Now (OCaml 3.11.1+rc1):
# Printf.sprintf "%F" 1.;;
- : string = "1.000000"
This change comes from:
http://camlcvs.inria.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ocaml/stdlib/printf.ml.diff?r1=1.58.2.1;r2=1.58.2.2;f=h
Is the new behavior intentional? The manual says:
========
F: convert a floating-point argument to Caml syntax (dddd. or dddd.ddd
or d.ddd e+-dd).
========
but it seems the new implementation never produces the form dddd.
