int extra_float_digits, default 0, min -13, max 2
If extra_float_digits==-13 and we are outputing a float4 this results in a negative value for FLT_DIG+extra_float_digits. I dont know if sprintf's behaviour is the same across different libraries for this situation.
Should I include the following to handle this case ?
if(extra_float_digits<-4)
sprintf(ascii, "%.*g", FLT_DIG-4, num);
else
sprintf(ascii, "%.*g", FLT_DIG+extra_float_digits, num);
Also, if we concluded that there is a need of 2 more digits, should'nt this be the default ?
No. pg_dump would want to bump it up on-the-fly. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
