Pack/unpack doesn't seem to work properly for doubles about packable

[marcandre]

Fixed two problems with float packing unpacking. One was with native endian, double precision (was using 'F', now uses 'D') and that packing in single precision made all subsequent packing single precision (even if double precision was requested).

If this hasn't fixed your issue, please let me know!

Thanks

Hmm. Still seems to not quite be working for me. I have to add :endian => :little to the options, though unpack('D') works fine for me.

Mmmm, here's what I have on my end:

$ irb
1.9.3p194 :001 > require 'packable'
 => true 
1.9.3p194 :002 > 1.1.pack(:double)
 => "?\xF1\x99\x99\x99\x99\x99\x9A" 
1.9.3p194 :003 > Packable::VERSION
 => "1.3.5" 
1.9.3p194 :005 > `ruby -v`
 => "ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]\n" 

What's on your end?

I get the same thing, but 1.1.pack(:double) is not doing :endian => :native, as far as I can tell.

1.1.pack(:double)
  => "?\xF1\x99\x99\x99\x99\x99\x9A"
1.1.pack('E')
  => "\x9A\x99\x99\x99\x99\x99\xF1?"
1.1.pack('D')
  => "\x9A\x99\x99\x99\x99\x99\xF1?"
1.1.pack(:precision => :double, :endian => :native)
  => "\x9A\x99\x99\x99\x99\x99\xF1?"

Indeed, the default is :endian => :big, not sure why I chose that at the time. I'll close this issue, then, since you can adjust the settings or specify the endianness you want, things work.

Or let me know what you'd like to be done!

It just seems like it makes more sense to use whatever the native setting is.
