Hi,
I seem to have detected a serious error (for me of course...)
in the current cygwin 1.5.13 library. The minus sign of input values with a
e+00 exponent, for example
-1.1e+00 fail to read the minus sign. Here is a short program rdf.c that
demonstrates the
problem. Compiled with
gcc rdf.c -o rdf.exe
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
double a;
while(1){
printf("input: ");
scanf("%le",&a);
printf("a: %le\n",a);
}
}
Here are some examples that show the bug:
$ rdf
input: -.11e+00
a: 1.100000e-01 !akkk
input: -1.1e+00
a: 1.100000e+00 !akkk
input: -1.1e00
a: 1.100000e+00 !akkk
input: -11e-01
a: -1.100000e+00 !akkk
input: -.11E+01 !ok
a: -1.100000e+00
input: -11e-01 !ok
a: -1.100000e+00
So the problem seems to be related to the case where the exponent is 00.
What is to be done?
Thanks
Charles
