-Subject: Formatted printing of floating point numbers broken
-Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 15:26:58 +1000
-
-It seems as though the formatted printing of floating point numbers is 
-broken if one uses the %g or %G format specifiers.  In particular, if it 
-decides that the %f format should be used, everything after the decimal 
-point is discarded.
-
-Note also that, from inspection of the code, it seems the "#" format 
-modifier is being ignored for the "feEgG" formats, contrary to the 
-documentation for string__format.  It'd also be nice if, by default, the 
-%g/%G format didn't print trailing zeros (as per the C standard [and implied 
-by the Mercury docs] and the reason I was trying to use it in the first 
-place: I don't like outputting 0.500000000000000, but I don't want to be 
-aggressive about pruning the precision in case it's actually significant 
-sometime).
