8285477: Add a PRECISION public static field to j.l.Float and j.l.Double #8362
Conversation
👋 Welcome back rgiulietti! A progress list of the required criteria for merging this PR into |
The precision of float resp. double values, as defined by IEEE 754, is not easily derivable from the constants in the java.lang.Float resp. java.lang.Double classes. These values (24 resp. 53) are used in some places in the OpenJDK code base, where they appear as literals or even as derived literals, like 23 and 52. Hence, usages of these values are harder to find than necessary. |
