A Note on Using C Compilers
M3T-NC308WA, M3T-NC30WA, M3T-NC79WA
and M3T-NC77WA

Please take note of the following problem in using the M3T-NC308WA, M3T-NC30WA, M3T-NC79WA, and M3T-NC77WA C compilers with an assembler and integrated development environment:
  • On standard library functions atof and strtod


  1. Products and Versions Concerned
    M3T-NC308WA V.1.00 Release 1 -- V.5.10 Release 1
    for the M32C/80 and M16C/80 series MCUs
    M3T-NC30WA V.1.00 Release 1 -- V.5.10 Release 1
    for the M16C/60, M16C/30, M16C/20, and M16C/10 series MCUs
    M3T-NC79WA V.2.00 Release 1 -- V.4.10 Release 1A
    for the 79xx series MCUs
    M3T-NC77WA V.3.00 Release 1 -- V.5.20 Release 4
    for the 77xx series MCUs

  2. Description
    If the argument of a standard library function atof or strtod is a character string beginning with a period (for example, ".12345"), the result of the conversion of the function becomes zero.

  3. Condition
    This problem occurs under the condition that if all the spaces contained in the argument are omitted, its character string begins with a period.

  4. Example
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
       #include <stdlib.h>
    
       double   d;
    
       int     main( void )
       {
               d = atof( ".12345" ); /* The character string of
                                     the argument begins with a period */
       }
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  5. Workaround
    Place a "0" in front of the period.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
       #include <stdlib.h>
    
       double   d;
    
       int     main( void )
       {
               d = atof( "0.12345" );
       }
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  6. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
    We plan to fix this problem in our next release of the products.
