Subject: bug#16293: 24.3.50; doc of `string-to-number'
Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2013 14:20:14 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <545fea48-4716-4435-b0b1-0ac2efecd8d0@default> (raw)
Say what happens if STRING cannot successfully be parsed as a number:
the function raises an error.
The doc (e.g. manual) describes the parsing in a fair amount of detail,
and it describes how the result can end up a floating-point number if
the integer value would be too large. But it says nothing about what
happens if no number can be identified for the string.
