Hi, Here's some code that implements floating point literals. It's getting confusing; patches on top of patches. So I just captured the relevant files verbatim and zipped them up. Peter, I assume you're integrating all this. If you'd like a patch, let me know.
Download the patch from: http://www.forio.com/velocity/floatingpointcode.zip (the mailer rejected it as too big). To install, -- install Peter's numerics patch http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06642.html -- delete the file ASTNumberLiteral.java -- copy in the source files -- copy in the tests If you run "ant test" and "ant jar" everything should work. See the test template "math.vm" for more details on capabilities A couple of quick notes on implementation: * I had to separate out integers from floating points, as integers can be used in ranges (but not floating points). * Integers are returned as type Integer, Long, or BigInteger. (the minimum size possible). So you can now use those gigavalues with confidence! * Floating points are returned as type Double or BigDecimal. * All the following are legit floating point values 4.5 4. .4 4e-3 4e+3 4e3 Let me know if there are any comments. WILL P.S. Thanks to John Allison for the regular expressions. I had a little more work with look aheads and disambiguation, but that was a good start. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
