Subject: pgsql: Drop support for MSVCRT's float formatting quirk.
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 21:39:59 +0000
Message-ID: <E1vLpuB-000MRj-0a@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Drop support for MSVCRT's float formatting quirk.
Commit f1885386 added code to remove an unnecessary leading zero from
the exponent in a float formatted by the system snprintf(). The C
standard doesn't allow unnecessary digits beyond two, and the tests pass
without this on Windows' modern UCRT (required since commit 1758d424).
