ThanksNot atof() is the cause of your bug, but printf(). I entered your sample into the test suite to show the correct behaviour of wine's implementation of atof. The printf() test has already a todo for the incorrect exponent output.
quoted from msdn[1]: --- The string argument to atof and _wtof has the following form:
[whitespace] [sign] [digits] [.digits] [ {d | D | e | E }[sign]digits ---
Which means that '7.8912654773d210' is the same as '7.8912654773e210'.
But on linux we have(quoted from 'man strtod'): ----- A decimal number consists of a nonempty sequence of decimal digits pos- sibly containing a radix character (decimal point, locale dependent, usually ``.''), optionally followed by a decimal exponent. A decimal exponent consists of an ``E'' or ``e'', followed by an optional plus or minus sign, followed by a non-empty sequence of decimal digits, and indicates multiplication by a power of 10. ----
It doesn't parse 'd' or 'D' as exponent. Seems to be a "MS-only extension" to the standard :p
