310Field fpi->sudden_underflow indicates whether strtodg should return
311denormals or flush them to zero. Normal floating-point numbers have
312bit fpi->nbits in the bits array on. Denormals have it off, with
313exponent = fpi->emin. Strtodg provides distinct return values for normals
314and denormals; see gdtoa.h.

316Compiling g__fmt.c, strtod.c, and strtodg.c with -DUSE_LOCALE causes
317the decimal-point character to be taken from the current locale; otherwise
318it is '.'.
