Hello,

I get a number like 33748440199875750.25 from a database.
I must convert it to a string.
How could I do ?
I tried double, float, _int64, etc... I always lose precison (eg, I
get 33748440199875752. => + 2 ) before converting it.
I know it's relative to IEEE, but I can't find a solution to simply
convert it to a string

Thanks in advance.

I guess you could try something out that is analogous to the following MSVC++ specific code:
___________________________________________________________________
#include <stdio.h>


struct number_parts {
char sign;
unsigned __int64 decimal;
unsigned __int64 non_decimal;
};


union number {
struct number_parts parts;
unsigned char buf[sizeof(struct number_parts)];
};


int main(void) {
union number x;

x.parts.sign = '+';
x.parts.decimal = 25;
x.parts.non_decimal = 33748440199875750;

printf("%c%I64u.%I64u\n", x.parts.sign, x.parts.non_decimal, x.parts.decimal);

return 0;
}
