Document various strtod bugs, with some fixes. * doc/posix-functions/strtod.texi (strtod): Document bugs with "-0x", "inf", "nan", and hex constants. * doc/posix-functions/atof.texi (atof): Likewise. * modules/stdlib (Makefile.am): Support strtod. * m4/stdlib_h.m4 (gl_STDLIB_H_DEFAULTS): Likewise. * m4/strtod.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRTOD): Fit in stdlib framework, and detect additional strtod bugs. * lib/stdlib.in.h (rpl_strtod): Add declarations. * lib/strtod.c (strtod): Return -0.0 on negative underflow. Use bool where appropriate. Parse 'inf' and 'nan'. * tests/test-strtod.c: New file. * modules/strtod (Depends-on): Add stdbool, stdlib. (configure.ac): Turn on module indicator. * modules/strtod-tests: New module. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
