#8823: showFloat for higher precision types produces strange results for some values ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: axman6 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Prelude | Version: Resolution: | 7.8.1-rc1 Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Keywords: Type of failure: Incorrect result at runtime | Architecture: Test Case: | Unknown/Multiple Blocking: | Difficulty: | Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: ------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by axman6): To reproduce the bug, try changing the value of floatDigits to ~56 and running `floatToDigits 10 {FOne,FOneThousand,FTwo}`. As can be seen with FPi the correct results are produced. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8823#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
