     32 // The output depends on the given mode:
     33 //  - SHORTEST: produce the least amount of digits for which the internal
     34 //   identity requirement is still satisfied. If the digits are printed
     35 //   (together with the correct exponent) then reading this number will give
     36 //   'v' again. The buffer will choose the representation that is closest to
     37 //   'v'. If there are two at the same distance, than the one farther away
     38 //   from 0 is chosen (halfway cases - ending with 5 - are rounded up).
     39 //   In this mode the 'requested_digits' parameter is ignored.
     40 //  - FIXED: produces digits necessary to print a given number with
     41 //   'requested_digits' digits after the decimal point. The produced digits
     42 //   might be too short in which case the caller has to fill the gaps with '0's.
     43 //   Example: toFixed(0.001, 5) is allowed to return buffer="1", point=-2.
     44 //   Halfway cases are rounded towards +/-Infinity (away from 0). The call
     45 //   toFixed(0.15, 2) thus returns buffer="2", point=0.
     46 //   The returned buffer may contain digits that would be truncated from the
     47 //   shortest representation of the input.
     48 //  - PRECISION: produces 'requested_digits' where the first digit is not '0'.
     49 //   Even though the length of produced digits usually equals
     50 //   'requested_digits', the function is allowed to return fewer digits, in
     51 //   which case the caller has to fill the missing digits with '0's.
     52 //   Halfway cases are again rounded away from 0.
     53 // 'DoubleToAscii' expects the given buffer to be big enough to hold all digits
     54 // and a terminating null-character. In SHORTEST-mode it expects a buffer of
     55 // at least kBase10MaximalLength + 1. Otherwise, the size of the output is
