This module is also for the 'a' and 'A' conversion of printf: Splitting a 'double' into mantissa and exponent, without requiring libm.
This module assumes that the radix of floating-point numbers is 2. A safe assumption, I hope, 18 years after IEEE 754. 2007-02-25 Bruno Haible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * modules/printf-frexp: New file. * lib/printf-frexp.h: New file. * lib/printf-frexp.c: New file. * m4/printf-frexp.m4: New file. ============================== modules/printf-frexp ========================== Description: printf_frexp() function: split a double into fraction and mantissa, for hexadecimal printf, without requiring libm.
