the mid-sized integer optimization relies on lnz set up properly to mark the last non-zero decimal digit, but this was not done if the non-zero digit lied outside the KMAX digits of the base 10^9 number representation. so if the fractional part was a very long list of zeros (>2048*9 on x86) followed by non-zero digits then the integer optimization could kick in discarding the tiny non-zero fraction which can mean wrong result on non-nearest rounding mode. strtof, strtod and strtold were all affected.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
