*
* The struct and pickle (at least) modules need an efficient platform-
* independent way to store floating-point values as byte strings.
* The Pack routines produce a string from a C double, and the Unpack
* routines produce a C double from such a string. The suffix (4 or 8)
* specifies the number of bytes in the string.
*
* On platforms that appear to use (see _PyFloat_Init()) IEEE-754 formats
* these functions work by copying bits. On other platforms, the formats the
* 4- byte format is identical to the IEEE-754 single precision format, and
* the 8-byte format to the IEEE-754 double precision format, although the
* packing of INFs and NaNs (if such things exist on the platform) isn't
* handled correctly, and attempting to unpack a string containing an IEEE
* INF or NaN will raise an exception.
*
* On non-IEEE platforms with more precision, or larger dynamic range, than
* 754 supports, not all values can be packed; on non-IEEE platforms with less
* precision, or smaller dynamic range, not all values can be unpacked. What
* happens in such cases is partly accidental (alas).
*/
/* The pack routines write 4 or 8 bytes, starting at p. le is a bool
* argument, true if you want the string in little-endian format (exponent
* last, at p+3 or p+7), false if you want big-endian format (exponent
* first, at p).
* Return value: 0 if all is OK, -1 if error (and an exception is
* set, most likely OverflowError).
* There are two problems on non-IEEE platforms:
* 1): What this does is undefined if x is a NaN or infinity.
* 2): -0.0 and +0.0 produce the same string.
