scientific notation incorrect decimal places

[ljdoig]

I tried this code:

    assert_eq!("1.0e3", format!("{:.1e}", 1001));
    assert_eq!("1.0e3", format!("{:.1e}", 1000));
    assert_eq!("1.0e3", format!("{:.1e}", 999));

I expected this all to be fine.

Instead, the final assertion fails, and the formatting is done like this in the final case:

    assert_eq!("1.00e3", format!("{:.1e}", 999));

Not sure why 2 decimal places are returned, looks like a bug.
This bug also exists in the beta or nightly versions, running in Rust Playground.

Edit: after looking around the compiler code for the first time I think the problem is somewhere in either format_exact or format_exact_opt.

No. The relevant code is actually the one for formatting integers in scientific notation, not floats. I. e. the relevant code is the code first introduced in #66721

As I mentioned in the linked URLO thread, I believe perhaps integer formatting in scientific notation should be fully identically behaving to the (seemingly "correct", and also historically older) formatting implementation for floats. This is a potential test we might want passing:

let [mut s1, mut s2]: [String; 2] = Default::default();

for x in -2000_i64..=2000 {
    let xf = x as f64;

    macro_rules! test {
        ($fmt:literal, $assert_fmt:literal) => {
            s1.clear();
            s2.clear();
            write!(&mut s1, $fmt, x).unwrap();
            write!(&mut s2, $fmt, xf).unwrap();
            assert_eq!(
                &s1,
                &s2,
                "exponential formatting of integers vs. integral floats\nformat!(\"{}\", {})",
                format_args!($assert_fmt),
                x
            );
        };
    }

    test!("{:e}", "{{:e}}");
    test!("{:E}", "{{:E}}");

    for n in 0..5 {
        test!("{:.n$e}", "{{:.{n}e}}");
        test!("{:.n$E}", "{{:.{n}E}}");
    }
}

but as of now, this kind of test fails in a lot of cases:

In this test result, besides the behavior described in this issue, resulting in the wrong number of digits, there’s also the rounding behavior that is different between displaying floats and ints here. I’m not sure whether or not this difference is wanted. If it is wanted, it should be properly documented (on that note, I couldn’t easily find any documentation on the rounding used for floats, either), if it isn’t, it would be yet another issue or bug.

I would like to try and fix this bug
