Description

I have a problem with Real.fromString attempting to evaluate strings that should result in non-whole number outputs such as Real.fromString "3.1" which arose when I tried testing the bugfix to issue #354 (which is why I suspect this may be related to 32-bit systems). I'm using the windows installation of SMLNJ, which appears to be inherently 32-bit.

• Real.fromString "3.1";
  val it = SOME 9.31322575022E~10 : real option
• Real.fromString "3.1E1";
  val it = SOME 31 : real option
• Real.fromString "3.14";
  val it = SOME 5.96046447916E~8 : real option
• Real.fromString "3.14E1";
  val it = SOME 1.4901161198E~8 : real option
• Real.fromString "3.14E2";
  val it = SOME 314 : real option
• Real.fromString "3.14159E4";
  val it = SOME 1.52587890666E~5 : real option
• Real.fromString "3.14159E5";
  val it = SOME 314159 : real option
• Real.fromString "3141.59E2";
  val it = SOME 314159 : real option
• Real.fromString "3141.59E1";
  val it = SOME 1.52587890666E~5 : real option
• Real.fromString "-3141.59E1";
  val it = SOME ~1.52587890666E~5 : real option
