为什么通过字符串进行的往返转换对于 double 来说不安全？

最近，我不得不将双精度数序列化为文本，然后将其取回。该值似乎不相等：

double d1 = 0.84551240822557006;
string s = d1.ToString("R");
double d2 = double.Parse(s);
bool s1 = d1 == d2;
// -> s1 is False

但根据MSDN：标准数字格式字符串 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwhawy9k(v=vs.110).aspx#Anchor_8，“R”选项应该保证往返安全。

往返（“R”）格式说明符用于确保转换为字符串的数值将被解析回相同的数值

为什么会发生这种情况？

我发现了这个错误。

.NET 在中执行以下操作clr\src\vm\comnumber.cpp https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/src/classlibnative/bcltype/number.cpp#L2483:

DoubleToNumber(value, DOUBLE_PRECISION, &number);

if (number.scale == (int) SCALE_NAN) {
    gc.refRetVal = gc.numfmt->sNaN;
    goto lExit;
}

if (number.scale == SCALE_INF) {
    gc.refRetVal = (number.sign? gc.numfmt->sNegativeInfinity: gc.numfmt->sPositiveInfinity);
    goto lExit;
}

NumberToDouble(&number, &dTest);

if (dTest == value) {
    gc.refRetVal = NumberToString(&number, 'G', DOUBLE_PRECISION, gc.numfmt);
    goto lExit;
}

DoubleToNumber(value, 17, &number);

DoubleToNumber https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/src/classlibnative/bcltype/number.cpp#L140非常简单——它只是调用_ecvt，它在 C 运行时中：

void DoubleToNumber(double value, int precision, NUMBER* number)
{
    WRAPPER_CONTRACT
    _ASSERTE(number != NULL);

    number->precision = precision;
    if (((FPDOUBLE*)&value)->exp == 0x7FF) {
        number->scale = (((FPDOUBLE*)&value)->mantLo || ((FPDOUBLE*)&value)->mantHi) ? SCALE_NAN: SCALE_INF;
        number->sign = ((FPDOUBLE*)&value)->sign;
        number->digits[0] = 0;
    }
    else {
        char* src = _ecvt(value, precision, &number->scale, &number->sign);
        wchar* dst = number->digits;
        if (*src != '0') {
            while (*src) *dst++ = *src++;
        }
        *dst = 0;
    }
}

事实证明_ecvt返回字符串845512408225570.

注意到后面的零了吗？事实证明，这一切都不同了！
当零存在时，结果实际上解析回0.84551240822557006，这是你的originalnumber——因此比较相等，因此只返回 15 位数字。

但是，如果我将零处的字符串截断为84551240822557，然后我回来0.84551240822556994，即not您的原始号码，因此它将返回 17 位数字。

证明：在调试器中运行以下 64 位代码（其中大部分是我从 Microsoft Shared Source CLI 2.0 中提取的）并检查v在......的最后main:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>

#define min(a, b) (((a) < (b)) ? (a) : (b))

struct NUMBER {
    int precision;
    int scale;
    int sign;
    wchar_t digits[20 + 1];
    NUMBER() : precision(0), scale(0), sign(0) {}
};
