Added "Z" format_char to PyOS_ascii_formatd to support empty float presentation type. Renamed buf_size in PyOS_ascii_formatd to more accurately reflect it's meaning. Modified format.__float__ to use the new "Z" format as the default. Added test cases. ........ r61435 | eric.smith | 2008-03-17 13:14:29 +0100 (Mo, 17 Mär 2008) | 2 lines Reformated lines > 79 chars.

The long double is still there, but OSX 10.4's gcc no longer warns about it. * r33666 fixed issue 775892 on OSX 10.3 by adding -mno-fused-madd, which changed the sign of some float 0s. Tim Peters said it wasn't a real issue anyway, and it no longer causes test failures. Fixes issue #1779871. ........ r61439 | martin.v.loewis | 2008-03-17 17:31:57 +0100 (Mo, 17 Mär 2008) | 2 lines Add Trent Nelson. ........ r61444 | travis.oliphant | 2008-03-17 18:36:12 +0100 (Mo, 17 Mär 2008) | 1 line Add necessary headers to back-port new buffer protocol to Python 2.6 ........ r61449 | gregory.p.smith | 2008-03-17 19:48:05 +0100 (Mo, 17 Mär 2008) | 8 lines Force zlib.crc32 and zlib.adler32 to return a signed integer on all platforms regardless of the native sizeof(long) used in the integer object. This somewhat odd behavior of returning a signed is maintained in 2.x for compatibility reasons of always returning an integer rather than a long object.
