# Known Issues

On the armv6 architecture, the stable exponentiation for the fast, incorrect float parser is not fully stable. For example, `1e-300` is correct, while `5e-324` rounds to `0`, leading to "5e-324" being incorrectly parsed as `0`. This does not affect the default, correct float parser, nor armv7 or armv8 (aarch64) architectures. This bug can compound errors in the incorrect parser (feature-gated by disabling the `correct` feature`).

It is not known if this bug is an artifact of Qemu emulation of ARMv6, or is actually representative the hardware.
