Man Page for fcvt (opensolaris Section 3c) - The UNIX and Linux Forums says The high-order digit is non-zero, unless the value is 0. The
low-order digit is rounded. The position of the radix character rela-
tive to the beginning of the string is stored in the integer pointed to
by decpt (negative means to the left of the returned digits).
Hi, I'm converting a C program that I made using the Visual Studio. I now use GCC (over Linux) and can't find some equivalences. I changed my __int64 definitions to unsigned long long, but can't find an equivalent to the microsoft i64toa() function, which let you convert a char* to a 64 bit... (1 Reply)

Hi,
I wrote a simple code in C++ converting from UpperToLower case characters. However, my compiler gives me a warning:
"warning: conversion to 'char' from 'int' may alter its value".
Any tips?
I would like to stress, I don't want to load my string into char array.

ecvt
ECVT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ECVT(3)NAME
ecvt, fcvt - convert a floating-point number to a string
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
char *ecvt(double number, int ndigits, int *decpt, int *sign);
char *fcvt(double number, int ndigits, int *decpt, int *sign);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
ecvt(), fcvt():
Since glibc 2.12:
_SVID_SOURCE ||
(_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 ||
_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED) &&
!(_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600)
Before glibc 2.12:
_SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
DESCRIPTION
The ecvt() function converts number to a null-terminated string of ndigits digits (where ndigits is reduced to a system-specific limit
determined by the precision of a double), and returns a pointer to the string. The high-order digit is nonzero, unless number is zero.
The low order digit is rounded. The string itself does not contain a decimal point; however, the position of the decimal point relative to
the start of the string is stored in *decpt. A negative value for *decpt means that the decimal point is to the left of the start of the
string. If the sign of number is negative, *sign is set to a nonzero value, otherwise it is set to 0. If number is zero, it is unspeci-
fied whether *decpt is 0 or 1.
The fcvt() function is identical to ecvt(), except that ndigits specifies the number of digits after the decimal point.
RETURN VALUE
Both the ecvt() and fcvt() functions return a pointer to a static string containing the ASCII representation of number. The static string
is overwritten by each call to ecvt() or fcvt().
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The ecvt() and fcvt() functions are not thread-safe.
CONFORMING TO
SVr2; marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001. POSIX.1-2008 removes the specifications of ecvt() and fcvt(), recommending the use of sprintf(3)
instead (though snprintf(3) may be preferable).
NOTES
Linux libc4 and libc5 specified the type of ndigits as size_t. Not all locales use a point as the radix character ("decimal point").
