use QString::number ( double n, char format = 'g', int precision = 6 )

[lzpmail]

hi, i find a very strange thing, i use QString::number ( double n, char format = 'g', int precision = 6 ) to show a double type data, the program is run in PC normal, but it run in ARM board, it show -0, and then the program is die, the cpu is up to 85%. but when i use QString::number ( int n, int base = 10 ) , is mean show int type data, the program run in PC or ARM board is well. this is why, and have any method to show double type. thanks.

Most likely you have the wrong version of code somewhere and there's a mismatch in terms of the number of physical words of parms passed for the double value.

What does your code actually look like? Where has the double value come from? Does this work as expected:

#include <QtCore>
#include <QDebug>
 
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) 
{
  QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
  double value = 3.14159265;
  qDebug() << QString::number(value, 'g', 6);
  return 0;
}

#include <QtCore>
#include <QDebug>

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) 
{
  QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
  double value = 3.14159265;
  qDebug() << QString::number(value, 'g', 6);
  return 0;
}

yea, my code is like with you, but the value is not expected, it will change everytime,
this is my code

int fValue;              //fValue will changed in other place
QString mStrContext;
mStrContext = QString::number(fValue/10.0,  'g',  3);
pp.drawText(x, y, mStrContext);

int fValue;              //fValue will changed in other place
QString mStrContext;
mStrContext = QString::number(fValue/10.0,  'g',  3);
pp.drawText(x, y, mStrContext);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

when i use qDebug() print the (fValue/10.0) is also be die.

[ChrisW67]

Is your program crashing or are you just getting unexpected results? If the program is crashing then it is very unlikely that QString::number is involved.

If the value you get out each time is different then it is likely that fValue is not being initialised before you use it (it isn't in your example).

Compile and run my test program on your embedded system. Does it print:

"3.14159"

"3.14159"

Depending on the compiler used, "fValue/10.0" will compile to different sized values. Probably technically a bug, but the compiler writer will tell you it's a "feechure". Assign the result to a temp and use the temp:

double tempDbl = fValue/10.0;
mStrContext = QString::number(tempDbl, 'g', 3);

double tempDbl = fValue/10.0;
mStrContext = QString::number(tempDbl, 'g', 3);

(Actually, it probably isn't technically a compiler bug. "fValue/10.0" can legally compile to a float, not a double.)

[MarekR22]

Nope you are wrong. C standard says that literal like "10.0" is treated as a double number so you have int/double and this is a double.
Another thing is prototype of QString::number, the only floating point version is version with double (not with qreal) so should work same on ARM as on other platforms.
Like I suggested until program wan't be debugged on arm or some unit test written which proves error in Qt I would assume bug in application not in Qt.

Or maybe you (lzpmail) should give us wider context of usage.

[lzpmail]

thanks your help, this probram is solved, but i use another method to solve this probram(use sprintf function to change double to char *), but i will continue find the reason, if i find i will tell yours.

[lzpmail]

hi, before i paste QString::number ( double n, char format = 'g', int precision = 6 ), this problem may have solved, before i use qt 4.5 to compile my program, have problem in ARM board, now i use qt 4.7 to compile, no that problem.

[wysota]

Is there a question here somewhere?

[ChrisW67]

No, I don't think so. lzpmail is just sharing the happy news that the problem from here has been solved.
