Precision

[glebm]

Does libsass support precision? It appears to be hardcoded at 5 https://github.com/hcatlin/libsass/blob/7936f599cb702c0753af508e6ecf56debd382c57/inspect.cpp#L313

You're correct; it's currently hard-coded. It should be relatively easy to make it configurable.

I've raised an issue on Sass Ruby about raising the default, see: sass/sass#1122

[voxpelli]

I would make this a pretty high priority as it, as pointed out in the above mentioned issue, is kind of blocking big frameworks like Bootstrap from using libsass at the moment. Those projects are actively discouraging any SASS-compilation using a precision less than 10.

Bumping this up, as it's actively causing issues for the Foundation framework.

Why not just increase the precision value to 10? Would that raise any issues for any projects? Any performance decreases worth mentioning?

@jmagnusson There's an active discussion in sass/sass#1122 about the default, as mentioned by @glebm. I don't think libsass will want to diverge from the other Sass implementations in its default value so until Sass itself changes its default the only alternative for libsass is likely to mirror the configurability of precision that already exists in other implementations, as was initially suggested here.

[akhleung]

All right, I've pushed a fix for this. The context struct now has a precision field that you can set; I've also added a --precision option to SassC.

Thanks @akhleung! I already implemented it for the Perl Module and basic test is working correct!

Was fixed, but now it's regressed. :-( Addressed in the newer ticket #364.
