pack_float, pack_double, save_float: All the routines for creating IEEE-format packed representations of floats and doubles simply ignored that rounding can (in rare cases) propagate out of a long string of 1 bits. At worst, the end-off carry can (by mistake) interfere with the exponent value, and then unpacking yields a result wrong by a factor of 2. In less severe cases, it can end up losing more low-order bits than intended, or fail to catch overflow *caused* by rounding. Bugfix candidate, but I already backported this to 2.2. In 2.3, this code remains in severe need of refactoring. |
