Re: [Haskell-beginners] Double Trouble

Hi ho,

Perhaps this module will help:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/data-binary-ieee754

...

I need to interface my Haskell program with an existing C++ one over a TCP socket. I need to feed the C++ program doubles in standard 64-bit network order IEEE 765-1985 format, but if I serialize a double using Data.Binary I get something which has altogeather too many bytes (I read somewhere it is an int and a long for the exponent and mantissa).

Thank you very much; I will take a look at that! I have no idea how I missed it, I went through every package on hackage that had 'binary' in the name, I must have sailed right past :) - Philip
