Dear all, I am reading the following note taken from url (*) [...] The guarantee that std::from_chars can recover every floating-point value formatted by std::to_chars exactly is only provided if both functions are from the same implementation. [...] Could some gurus please confirm my understanding of the above note for *finite* and/or *normal* numbers (not interested in the special nan/inf case) ? My understanding is that: GCC and MSVC may output a different ASCII text given the same inupt floating-point value (bitwise identical). Using google/chatgpt I could not find one such number. Thanks, (*) https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/to_chars.html -- Mathieu
