Tcl Source Code

% set x 0x2
0x2
% expr entier($x)
2
% expr {entier($x) eq $x}
1

% set y [expr {entier($x)}]
2
% expr {$y eq $x}
0
% string equal [tcl::mathfunc::entier $x] $x
1

% tcl::mathfunc::entier $x
0x2
% tcl::mathfunc::wide $x
2

I'm not convinced that it should.  I think there's a case either way .. does it make a difference for quadcode?

arguably, wide() and int() are missing an optimisation here.

With -DACCEPT_NAN, most floating mathfuncs are also identity for non-canonical NaNs.
