Subject: For now, cater to gnulib strtod inaccuracies.
X-Git-Tag: v0.1~7618
X-Git-Url: http://erislabs.org.uk/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d9c1fb5a5d6eb4c44e65918c0517a504b6d8f504;p=gnulib.git

For now, cater to gnulib strtod inaccuracies.

* tests/test-strtod.c (main): Allow 1-ulp error on expected
fractional results.  While not as nice from a QoI perspective, it
is a quicker patch than correctly implementing decimal to binary
rounding.

 	Guarantee a definition of NAN.
