RED_FLAG 22-Sep-2000 tim
PyFloat_FromString's pend argument is braindead.  Prior to this RED_FLAG,

1.  If v was a regular string, *pend was set to point to its terminating
    null byte.  That's useless (the caller can find that without any
    help from this function!).

2.  If v was a Unicode string, or an object convertible to a character
    buffer, *pend was set to point into stack trash (the auto temp
    vector holding the character buffer).  That was downright dangerous.

Since we can't change the interface of a public API function, pend is
still supported but now *officially* useless:  if pend is not NULL,
*pend is set to NULL.

    /* The basic idea is very simple: convert and round the double to a
       decimal string using _Py_dg_dtoa, then convert that decimal string
       back to a double with _Py_dg_strtod.  There's one minor difficulty:
       Python 2.x expects round to do round-half-away-from-zero, while
       _Py_dg_dtoa does round-half-to-even.  So we need some way to detect
       and correct the halfway cases.

       Detection: a halfway value has the form k * 0.5 * 10**-ndigits for
       some odd integer k.  Or in other words, a rational number x is
       exactly halfway between two multiples of 10**-ndigits if its
       2-valuation is exactly -ndigits-1 and its 5-valuation is at least
       -ndigits.  For ndigits >= 0 the latter condition is automatically
       satisfied for a binary float x, since any such float has
       nonnegative 5-valuation.  For 0 > ndigits >= -22, x needs to be an
       integral multiple of 5**-ndigits; we can check this using fmod.
       For -22 > ndigits, there are no halfway cases: 5**23 takes 54 bits
       to represent exactly, so any odd multiple of 0.5 * 10**n for n >=
       23 takes at least 54 bits of precision to represent exactly.

       Correction: a simple strategy for dealing with halfway cases is to
       (for the halfway cases only) call _Py_dg_dtoa with an argument of
       ndigits+1 instead of ndigits (thus doing an exact conversion to
       decimal), round the resulting string manually, and then convert
       back using _Py_dg_strtod.

     * For the sake of simplicity and correctness, we impose an artificial
     * limit on ndigits, the total number of hex digits in the coefficient
     * The limit is chosen to ensure that, writing exp for the exponent,
     *
     *   (1) if exp > LONG_MAX/2 then the value of the hex string is
     *   guaranteed to overflow (provided it's nonzero)
     *
     *   (2) if exp < LONG_MIN/2 then the value of the hex string is
     *   guaranteed to underflow to 0.
     *
     *   (3) if LONG_MIN/2 <= exp <= LONG_MAX/2 then there's no danger of
     *   overflow in the calculation of exp and top_exp below.
     *
     * More specifically, ndigits is assumed to satisfy the following
     * inequalities:
     *
     *   4*ndigits <= DBL_MIN_EXP - DBL_MANT_DIG - LONG_MIN/2
     *   4*ndigits <= LONG_MAX/2 + 1 - DBL_MAX_EXP
     *
     * If either of these inequalities is not satisfied, a ValueError is
     * raised.  Otherwise, write x for the value of the hex string, and
     * assume x is nonzero.  Then
     *
     *   2**(exp-4*ndigits) <= |x| < 2**(exp+4*ndigits).
     *
     * Now if exp > LONG_MAX/2 then:
     *
     *   exp - 4*ndigits >= LONG_MAX/2 + 1 - (LONG_MAX/2 + 1 - DBL_MAX_EXP)
     *                    = DBL_MAX_EXP
     *
     * so |x| >= 2**DBL_MAX_EXP, which is too large to be stored in C
     * double, so overflows.  If exp < LONG_MIN/2, then
     *
     *   exp + 4*ndigits <= LONG_MIN/2 - 1 + (
     *                      DBL_MIN_EXP - DBL_MANT_DIG - LONG_MIN/2)
     *                    = DBL_MIN_EXP - DBL_MANT_DIG - 1
     *
     * and so |x| < 2**(DBL_MIN_EXP-DBL_MANT_DIG-1), hence underflows to 0
     * when converted to a C double.
     *
     * It's easy to show that if LONG_MIN/2 <= exp <= LONG_MAX/2 then both
     * exp+4*ndigits and exp-4*ndigits are within the range of a long.
