Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: bugfix Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Martin Peach (mrpeach) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: a partial float fix

Initial Comment: Pd currently doesn't store floats to their full precision because atom_string uses the %g format specifier to print them into the binbuf. As a result 24-bit numbers lose precision. This patch changes the format specifier to %f and also adds a routine to chop off trailing zeros and the decimal point if nothing is to the right of it.

Message: I thought I had patched my source but somehow hadn't... just tried the patch and it has a problem - if you type 1e20 in a message box and duplicate it you get a ridiculous string. Somehow a fix is needed that can deal with exponential notation but still have the advantages of %f when appropriate.

Message: This one did not seem to get accepted, or at least its not in git as of today. There is a commit in git (2488dcef8a72906cd1fa3785ef549ea7b33533b5) marked "patch 2952880 - a partial float fix", but that commit makes only a small change to extra/expr~/vexp_if.c.
