No initial # ==> decimal input. -After the input number is an optional : mode ndigits -(colon, and decimal integers for parameters "mode" and "ndigits" -to gdtoa). - -Qtest, ddtest, dtest, ftest, xLtest and xtest are for conversion to/from - - f IEEE single precision - d IEEE double precision - xL IEEE extended precision, as on Motorola 680x0 chips - x IEEE extended precision, as on Intel 80x87 chips or - software emulation of Motorola 680x0 chips - Q quad precision, as on Sun Sparc chips - dd double double, pairs of IEEE double numbers - whose sum is the desired value - -They're all similar, except for the precision. They test both -directed roundings and interval input (the strtoI* routines). -Lines that begin with "r" specify or interrogate the desired rounding -direction: - - 0 = toward 0 - 1 = nearest (default) - 2 = toward +Infinity - 3 = toward -Infinity - -These are the FPI_Round_* values in gdota.h. The "r" value is sticky: -it stays in effect til changed. To change the value, give a line that -starts with r followed by 0, 1, 2, or 3. To check the value, give "r" -by itself. - -Lines that begin with n followed by a number specify the ndig -argument for subsequent calls to the relevant g_*fmt routine. - -Lines that start with # followed by the appropriate number of -hexadecimal strings (see the comments) give the big-endian -internal representation of the desired number. - -When routines Qtest, xLtest, and xtest are used on machines whose -long double is of type "quad" (for Qtest) or "extended" (for x*test), -they try to print with %Lg as another way to show binary values. - -Program ddtest also accepts (white-space separated) pairs of decimal -input numbers; it converts both with strtod and feeds the result -to g_ddfmt. - -Program dItest exercises strtodI and strtoId. - -Programs dItestsi and ddtestsi are for testing the sudden-underflow -logic (on double and double-double conversions). - -Program strtodt tests strtod on some hard cases (in file testnos3) -posted by Fred Tydeman to comp.arch.arithmetic on 26 Feb. 1996. - -These are simple test programs, not meant for exhaustive testing, -but for manually testing "interesting" cases. Paxson's testbase -is good for more exhaustive testing, in part with random inputs. |
