d_Gconvert (d_gconvert.U):
This variable holds what Gconvert is defined as to convert
- floating point numbers into strings. It could be 'gconvert'
- or a more complex macro emulating gconvert with gcvt() or sprintf.
- Possible values are:
- d_Gconvert='gconvert((x),(n),(t),(b))'
- d_Gconvert='gcvt((x),(n),(b))'
- d_Gconvert='sprintf((b),"%.*g",(n),(x))'
- If you are not content with these choices, use gconvert_preference
- and gconvert_ld_preference, which if present are space-separated
- lists of functions to try with calling convention of gcvt,
- respectively for doubles and long doubles.
+ floating point numbers into strings. By default, Configure
+ sets this macro to use the first of gconvert, gcvt, or sprintf
+ that pass sprintf-%g-like behaviour tests. If perl is using
+ long doubles, the macro uses the first of the following
+ functions that pass Configure's tests: qgcvt, sprintf (if
+ Configure knows how to make sprintf format long doubles--see
+ sPRIgldbl), gconvert, gcvt, and sprintf (casting to double).
+ The gconvert_preference and gconvert_ld_preference variables
+ can be used to alter Configure's preferences, for doubles and
+ long doubles, respectively. If present, they contain a
+ space-separated list of one or more of the above function
+ names in the order they should be tried.
+ d_Gconvert may be set to override Configure with a platform-
+ specific function. If this function expects a double, a
+ different value may need to be set by the uselongdouble.cbu
+ call-back unit so that long doubles can be formatted without
+ loss of precision.
d_getcwd (d_getcwd.U):
This variable conditionally defines the HAS_GETCWD symbol, which
