[CLN-list] ¿Is this a bug or a feature?

[Isidro Cachadiña Gutiérrez]

Hi all:

I have this example which output don't like me.

#include <iostream>
#include <cln/real.h>
#include <cln/real_io.h>

using namespace cln;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  default_float_format=float_format(100);
  cl_R a,b;
  b=cl_float(1e-1,default_float_format);
  a=cl_float(1,default_float_format);
  a=a+b;
  std::cerr << "a=" << a << std::endl;
}

The output is:

a=1.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625L0
                                         ^ ¿Why are here these noisy digits?.               
They are so close ..

Gracias
