Hello!
Starting somewhere between v5.25.6-35-ge7619cc and v5.25.6-47-g69c5d0e, I
began seeing the following test failures on linux with -Dusequadmath (
http://perl.develop-help.com/raw/?id=196087
http://perl.develop-help.com/raw/?id=196097) and on Windows with all
configurations (http://perl5.test-smoke.org/report/50770)
The Windows issue is the following test:
like lm(-3.5e30), qr/main::lm\(-3\.5[eE]\+?30\)/;
The test expects numbers to be printed like "-3.5e30" or "-3.5e+30". Both
reasonable choices. Windows and quadruple precision floats are here to make
your life more interesting.
On Windows, I get "030" for the exponent, instead of "30". I can include a
log of this when I get home, I just can't see it from here.
The Linux issue is the same test:
like lm(-3.5e30), qr/main::lm\(-3\.5[eE]\+?30\)/;
Under Quadmath, we get the following output:
main::lm(-3500000000000000000000000000000)
Not sure if the behavior is wrong or if the test is, but I remember Jarkko
fighting to get the same sort of thing - printf number formats - to test
cleanly while he was working on the hexfp stuff a few months ago.
I'll bisect the Linux issue.
