14 // Return the shortest correct representation.
15 // For example the output of 0.299999999999999988897 is (the less accurate but
18 // Return a fixed number of digits after the decimal point.
19 // For instance fixed(0.1, 4) becomes 0.1000
20 // If the input number is big, the output will be big.
22 // Return a fixed number of digits, no matter what the exponent is.
26 // Converts the given double 'v' to ASCII.
27 // The result should be interpreted as buffer * 10^(point-length).
28 // The buffer will be null-terminated.
30 // The input v must be > 0 and different from NaN, and Infinity.
32 // The output depends on the given mode:
33 // - SHORTEST: produce the least amount of digits for which the internal
34 // identity requirement is still satisfied. If the digits are printed
35 // (together with the correct exponent) then reading this number will give
36 // 'v' again. The buffer will choose the representation that is closest to
37 // 'v'. If there are two at the same distance, than the number is round up.
38 // In this mode the 'requested_digits' parameter is ignored.
39 // - FIXED: produces digits necessary to print a given number with
40 // 'requested_digits' digits after the decimal point. The produced digits
41 // might be too short in which case the caller has to fill the gaps with '0's.
42 // Example: toFixed(0.001, 5) is allowed to return buffer="1", point=-2.
43 // Halfway cases are rounded up. The call toFixed(0.15, 2) thus returns
44 // buffer="2", point=0.
45 // Note: the length of the returned buffer has no meaning wrt the significance
46 // of its digits. That is, just because it contains '0's does not mean that
47 // any other digit would not satisfy the internal identity requirement.
48 // - PRECISION: produces 'requested_digits' where the first digit is not '0'.
49 // Even though the length of produced digits usually equals
50 // 'requested_digits', the function is allowed to return fewer digits, in
51 // which case the caller has to fill the missing digits with '0's.
52 // Halfway cases are again rounded up.
53 // 'BignumDtoa' expects the given buffer to be big enough to hold all digits
54 // and a terminating null-character.
