?MAKE:	-pick add $@ %<
?S:d_Gconvert:
?S:	This variable holds what Gconvert is defined as to convert
?S:	floating point numbers into strings.  By default, Configure
?S:	sets this macro to use the first of gconvert, gcvt, or sprintf
?S:	that pass sprintf-%g-like behavior tests.  If perl is using
?S:	long doubles, the macro uses the first of the following
?S:	functions that pass Configure's tests: qgcvt, sprintf (if
?S:	Configure knows how to make sprintf format long doubles--see
?S:	sPRIgldbl), gconvert, gcvt, and sprintf (casting to double).
?S:	The gconvert_preference and gconvert_ld_preference variables
?S:	can be used to alter Configure's preferences, for doubles and
?S:	long doubles, respectively.  If present, they contain a
?S:	space-separated list of one or more of the above function
?S:	names in the order they should be tried.
?S:
?S:	d_Gconvert may be set to override Configure with a platform-
?S:	specific function.  If this function expects a double, a
?S:	different value may need to be set by the uselongdouble.cbu
?S:	call-back unit so that long doubles can be formatted without
?S:	loss of precision.
?S:.
?C:Gconvert:
?C:	This preprocessor macro is defined to convert a floating point
?C:	number to a string without a trailing decimal point.  This
?C:	emulates the behavior of sprintf("%g"), but is sometimes much more
?C:	efficient.  If gconvert() is not available, but gcvt() drops the
?C:	trailing decimal point, then gcvt() is used.  If all else fails,
?C:	a macro using sprintf("%g") is used. Arguments for the Gconvert
?C:	macro are: value, number of digits, whether trailing zeros should
?C:	be retained, and the output buffer.
?C:	The usual values are:
?C:		d_Gconvert='gconvert((x),(n),(t),(b))'
?C:		d_Gconvert='gcvt((x),(n),(b))'
?C:		d_Gconvert='sprintf((b),"%.*g",(n),(x))'
?C:	The last two assume trailing zeros should not be kept.
