Hi, SVN learns that print_sword_fp_dec() is added by Watty about a year ago. IMHO this procedure does not belong in print.jal. (One could argue it should, but then there should be similar functions for all supported variables). As far as I am concerned, the procedure should be removed.
Refactoring of format.jal is long overdue. As far as I remember the interface (API) is pretty good, but there are a few quirks in the implementation. One I recall is that the desired nr of chars is not always correct processed. An other thing is that overflow (that is: the number does not fit in the designated place) does generate garbage. Although it can be argued that this garbage is still informative to the developer, IMHO it is better to have a clear overflow-indicator, like printing '#' on all digits. I once did a rewrite on request (don't recall who), but never got feedback on the result and removed it from svn. Should be there somewhere ;) It would be ideal if we had compact, high-performce JAL code that handels conversion to decimal and that this core can be used for fixed point and integers. Probably will take quite some effort to create though... Joep -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
