Stefan Krah	c35a8e5c98	Proactive reliability fix for broken FPUs: The base conversion functions use log10() to calculate the size of the output array. The current code has been tested on x86/amd64 (and to a lesser extent on qemu-mips qemu-sparc) and produces sufficiently large values for all inputs tested so far (coefficient sizes of 10**18 - 1 are hard to test exhaustively). The new code does not rely on the correctness of log10() and resizes the output arrays if the allocated space is insufficient.	2012-06-30 18:05:33 +02:00

Proactive reliability fix for broken FPUs: The base conversion functions

use log10() to calculate the size of the output array. The current code
has been tested on x86/amd64 (and to a lesser extent on qemu-mips qemu-sparc)
and produces sufficiently large values for all inputs tested so far (coefficient
sizes of 10**18 - 1 are hard to test exhaustively).

The new code does not rely on the correctness of log10() and resizes
the output arrays if the allocated space is insufficient.

up the decimal module. Performance gains of the new C implementation are
