Logging double values uses loses precision
anjohnson opened this issue · comments
The code here for logging float and double values to JSON uses a "%g" conversion, which is insufficient for some of my users. The yajl_gen implementation in EPICS 7 uses "%.17g" and appends ".0" if the previous string only contains digits and/or a minus sign. I will be developing a PR shortly to use that approach instead (or possibly just call yajl_gen to do it).
Duplicate of #29, the newer issue better describes my preferred solution.
