--- Comment #31 from Thomas Henlich <thenlich+gccbug at gmail dot com> ---
Jerry, I reviewed some of the code in write_float.def:
478 /* Calculate the format of the exponent field. */
479 if (expchar && !(dtp->u.p.g0_no_blanks && e == 0))
480 {
481 edigits = 1;
482 for (i = abs (e); i >= 10; i /= 10)
483 edigits++;
484
...
499 /* Zero width specified, no leading zeros in exponent */
500 if (e > 999 || e < -999)
501 edigits = 6;
502 else if (e > 99 || e < -99)
503 edigits = 5;
504 else if (e > 9 || e < -9)
505 edigits = 4;
506 else
507 edigits = 3;
To me this seems somewhat redundant.
Wouldn't the following be somewhat shorter, with the same result?
500 edigits += 2;
