A very good source for understanding printing and reading of
floating-point numbers are these two articles; they appeared in the
same PLDI '90 proceedings.
G. L. Steele Jr. and J. L. White. How to print floating-point numbers
accurately. In Proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN '90 Conference on
Programming Language Design and Implementation, pages 112--126, White
Plains, New York, June 1990.
W. D. Clinger, How to read floating point numbers accurately,
Proceedings of the {ACM} {SIGPLAN} '90 Conference on Programming
Language Design and Implementation, SIGPLAN Notices, pages 92--101,
White Plains, New York, June 1990.
