This is the: else if (fmt == chars_format::fixed && fd.exponent >= 0) { // The Ryu exponent is positive, and so this number's shortest // representation is a whole number, to be formatted in fixed instead // of scientific notation "as if by std::printf". This means we may // need to print more digits of the IEEE mantissa than what the // shortest scientific form given by Ryu provides. // // For instance, the exactly representable number // 12300000000000001048576.0 has as its shortest scientific // representation 123e+22, so in this case fd.mantissa is 123 and // fd.exponent is 22, which doesn't have enough information to format // the number exactly. So we defer to Ryu's d2fixed_buffered_n with // precision=0 to format the number in the general case here. case for which ryu doesn't handle d2fixed_buffered_n for wider than double and so use const int output_length = sprintf_ld(buffer, expected_output_length + 1, "%.0Lf", value); and Solaris apparently violates ISO C99 in producing for the last 3 printf calls scientifix values rather than fixed: #include <stdio.h> int main () { printf ("%.0f\n", __DBL_MAX__); printf ("%.0Lf\n", (long double) __DBL_MAX__); printf ("%.0Lf\n", 2.0L * __DBL_MAX__); printf ("%.0Lf\n", 1e+202L * __DBL_MAX__); printf ("%.0Lf\n", 1e+203L * __DBL_MAX__); printf ("%.0Lf\n", (long double) __DBL_MAX__ * (long double) __DBL_MAX__); printf ("%.0Lf\n", __LDBL_MAX__); } The 1e+202L * __DBL_MAX__ number is: 1797693134862315708145274237317043363780293901488132670510305396153274401107450252964067353821542098883610426262810674725334159395885309388675990127492090757713383689567223448511120723139743573688679064280172265585993927318314820133831157520860190820700571151387146478495139447053313076754655788391539857757373041885363113533243178943928496535556954517148959372706003524689906194839868952331046086040494963209033312113173876118835007579814542996644987978064090838995977878567921521624960885877081515358704107520 which is 511 bytes long excluding '\0' terminator, so bet they have somewhere fixed length temporary buffer or what. Jonathan, shall we just #ifdef out the std::numeric_limits<std::float128_t>::max() test in that test for Solaris and maybe HP-UX if it suffers from the same bug?
