30 // The output depends on the given mode:
31 //  - SHORTEST: produce the least amount of digits for which the internal
32 //   identity requirement is still satisfied. If the digits are printed
33 //   (together with the correct exponent) then reading this number will give
34 //   'v' again. The buffer will choose the representation that is closest to
35 //   'v'. If there are two at the same distance, than the number is round up.
36 //   In this mode the 'requested_digits' parameter is ignored.
37 //  - FIXED: produces digits necessary to print a given number with
38 //   'requested_digits' digits after the decimal point. The produced digits
39 //   might be too short in which case the caller has to fill the gaps with '0's.
40 //   Example: toFixed(0.001, 5) is allowed to return buffer="1", point=-2.
41 //   Halfway cases are rounded up. The call toFixed(0.15, 2) thus returns
42 //     buffer="2", point=0.
43 //   Note: the length of the returned buffer has no meaning wrt the significance
44 //   of its digits. That is, just because it contains '0's does not mean that
45 //   any other digit would not satisfy the internal identity requirement.
46 //  - PRECISION: produces 'requested_digits' where the first digit is not '0'.
47 //   Even though the length of produced digits usually equals
48 //   'requested_digits', the function is allowed to return fewer digits, in
49 //   which case the caller has to fill the missing digits with '0's.
50 //   Halfway cases are again rounded up.
51 // 'BignumDtoa' expects the given buffer to be big enough to hold all digits
52 // and a terminating null-character.
