| Fix various str -> float conversion bugs present in 2.7 alpha 2, including: |
| |
| (1) a serious 'wrong output' bug that could occur for long (> 40 digit) |
| input strings, (2) a crash in dtoa.c that occurred in debug builds when |
| parsing certain long numeric strings corresponding to subnormal values, |
| (3) a memory leak for some values large enough to cause overflow, and (4) a |
| number of flaws that could lead to incorrectly rounded results. |
