Re: Blobs and IEEE floating point

Sorry to be so long replying and thanking you for your help -- I've spent most of the last week in hospital with very limited communications. Thank you -- lots of interesting information. I ended up for the moment with something like (retyping from memory)... method double { $!index += 8;

Hi Timo, Thanks for the code snippets, I can use that too. There is already some code to test endianness see mail from David Warring at my question about Union. Date April 4 2016. Greetings, Marcel On 19/04/16 16:25, Elizabeth Mattijsen wrote: > I’ve been looking at nativecast, but

Re: Blobs and IEEE floating point

Hi Kevin I've made something up for the time being. You can find it in the BSON module. Look for the file lib/Document.pm6 and the subs encode-double and decode-double. This code must be rewritten though for speed but at least it works. Marcel P.s. I've seen that not all comments in the

Blobs and IEEE floating point

Hi, I have a several-thousand-line long Perl 5 script which I've been translating to Perl 6 over some time, and it runs fine, although a little slowly :-) There is however one section which I haven't needed to use until recently, and which I've been avoiding translating because it's not all that
