[issue532631] Confusions in formatfloat

Mark Dickinson added the comment: The worst-case length calculations look fine to me, except that on a system with sizeof(int) == 8 (yes, they do exist!) the precision could end up being more than 10 digits. I've added a check for that in r70682. The docs also already mention the %f -> %g conv

Mark Dickinson added the comment: I've replaced the fabs(x) / 1e25 >= 1e25 test with fabs(x) >= 1e50 in r70678. On IEEE 754 systems, assuming round-to-nearest, these two tests have identical meaning. I've also fixed the docs, replacing 1e25 by 1e50. Is there a good reason for '%.100f'% 1e4
