26 // The maximal length of digits a double can have in base 10 as returned by
27 // 'DoubleToAscii'. This does neither include sign, decimal point nor exponent.
28 // For example DoubleToAscii(-3.5844466002796428e+298, ..., buffer, ...) will
29 // fill buffer with the string "35844466002796428", while sign and decimal point
30 // position will be provided through additional output arguments.
31 // kBase10MaximalLength refers to the maximal length of this string. Note that
32 // DoubleToAscii null-terminates its input. So the given buffer should be at
33 // least kBase10MaximalLength + 1 characters long.
34 const int kBase10MaximalLength = 17;
35 
36 // Converts the given double 'v' to ASCII.
37 // The result should be interpreted as buffer * 10^(point-length).
38 //
39 // The output depends on the given mode:
40 //  - SHORTEST: produce the least amount of digits for which the internal
41 //   identity requirement is still satisfied. If the digits are printed
42 //   (together with the correct exponent) then reading this number will give
43 //   'v' again. The buffer will choose the representation that is closest to
44 //   'v'. If there are two at the same distance, than the one farther away
45 //   from 0 is chosen (halfway cases - ending with 5 - are rounded up).
46 //   In this mode the 'requested_digits' parameter is ignored.
47 //  - FIXED: produces digits necessary to print a given number with
48 //   'requested_digits' digits after the decimal point. The produced digits
49 //   might be too short in which case the caller has to fill the gaps with '0's.
50 //   Example: toFixed(0.001, 5) is allowed to return buffer="1", point=-2.
51 //   Halfway cases are rounded towards +/-Infinity (away from 0). The call
52 //   toFixed(0.15, 2) thus returns buffer="2", point=0.
53 //   The returned buffer may contain digits that would be truncated from the
54 //   shortest representation of the input.
55 //  - PRECISION: produces 'requested_digits' where the first digit is not '0'.
56 //   Even though the length of produced digits usually equals
57 //   'requested_digits', the function is allowed to return fewer digits, in
58 //   which case the caller has to fill the missing digits with '0's.
59 //   Halfway cases are again rounded away from 0.
60 // 'DoubleToAscii' expects the given buffer to be big enough to hold all digits
61 // and a terminating null-character. In SHORTEST-mode it expects a buffer of
62 // at least kBase10MaximalLength + 1. Otherwise, the size of the output is
63 // limited to requested_digits digits plus the null terminator.
