Re: msvcrt: Use Dragon4 algorithm to fix inconsistent rounding behaviour for sprintf and add tests.

Hi, YongHao,
Quite a huge patch lol

I tried your patch.

$ patch -p1 <0012-msvcrt-Use-Dragon4-algorithm-to-fix-inconsistent-round.txt
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch; use --binary to disable.)
patching file dlls/msvcrt/dragon4.h
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch; use --binary to disable.)
patching file dlls/msvcrt/printf.h
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch; use --binary to disable.)
patching file dlls/msvcrt/tests/printf.c
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch; use --binary to disable.)
patching file dlls/msvcrt/wine_printfloat.h

Is this critical?

Also, your patch failed to compile on my computer.

dragon4.h:10:0: error: unterminated #ifndef
 #ifndef __WINE_STDIO_H

Why is it necessary here?

And then, wine_printfloat.h:26:15: error: unknown type name 'uint32_t'
It seems that you're using C99 types? It is not allowed in wine code[1]

Finally, you've created two files with ZLIB license. Is it better to move all
the ZLIB license code to one file? I'm not sure about that. Could someone
have a check to avoid legal problems?

msvcrt: Use Dragon4 algorithm to fix inconsistent rounding behaviour for sprintf and add tests.

Hi, Zhenbo.
I have fixed the patch and send a new one to wine-patch, thank you. : )
The new patch looks good for me now.
I switch to a new branch and use  git apply 
~/0012-msvcrt-Use-Dragon4-algorithm-to-fix-inconsistent-round.txt
to apply my patch and compile it successfully. You can have a try.
BTW, I had the author's consent to distribute his implementation using 
the following license, which I had added to files.
