/**
 * _PyOS_ascii_strtod:
 * @nptr:    the string to convert to a numeric value.
 * @endptr:  if non-%NULL, it returns the character after
 *           the last character used in the conversion.
 *
 * Converts a string to a #gdouble value.
 * This function behaves like the standard strtod() function
 * does in the C locale. It does this without actually
 * changing the current locale, since that would not be
 * thread-safe.
 *
 * This function is typically used when reading configuration
 * files or other non-user input that should be locale independent.
 * To handle input from the user you should normally use the
 * locale-sensitive system strtod() function.
 *
 * If the correct value would cause overflow, plus or minus %HUGE_VAL
 * is returned (according to the sign of the value), and %ERANGE is
 * stored in %errno. If the correct value would cause underflow,
 * zero is returned and %ERANGE is stored in %errno.
 * If memory allocation fails, %ENOMEM is stored in %errno.
 *
 * This function resets %errno before calling strtod() so that
 * you can reliably detect overflow and underflow.
 *
 * Return value: the #gdouble value.

         2 for a possible [eE][+-]
         1 for each digit of the exponent;  if we allow 19 digits
           total then we're safe up to exponents of 2**63.
         1 for the trailing nul byte

       This gives a total of 24 + the number of digits in the significand,
       and the number of digits in the significand is:

         for 'g' format: at most precision, except possibly
           when precision == 0, when it's 1.
         for 'e' format: precision+1
         for 'f' format: precision digits after the point, at least 1
           before.  To figure out how many digits appear before the point
           we have to examine the size of the number.  If fabs(val) < 1.0
           then there will be only one digit before the point.  If
           fabs(val) >= 1.0, then there are at most

         1+floor(log10(ceiling(fabs(val))))

           digits before the point (where the 'ceiling' allows for the
           possibility that the rounding rounds the integer part of val
           up).  A safe upper bound for the above quantity is
           1+floor(exp/3), where exp is the unique integer such that 0.5
           <= fabs(val)/2**exp < 1.0.  This exp can be obtained from
           frexp.

       So we allow room for precision+1 digits for all formats, plus an
       extra floor(exp/3) digits for 'f' format.
