Tcl_PrintDouble(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_PrintDouble(3)______________________________________________________________________________NAME
Tcl_PrintDouble - Convert floating value to string
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_PrintDouble(interp, value, dst)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Before Tcl 8.0, the tcl_precision │
variable in this interpreter con‐ │
trolled the conversion. As of Tcl │
8.0, this argument is ignored and the │
conversion is controlled by the │
tcl_precision variable that is now │
shared by all interpreters.
double value (in) Floating-point value to be converted.
char *dst (out) Where to store string representing
value. Must have at least TCL_DOU‐
BLE_SPACE characters of storage.
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
Tcl_PrintDouble generates a string that represents the value of value
and stores it in memory at the location given by dst. It uses %g for‐
mat to generate the string, with one special twist: the string is guar‐
anteed to contain either a ``.'' or an ``e'' so that it doesn't look
like an integer. Where %g would generate an integer with no decimal
point, Tcl_PrintDouble adds ``.0''.
