Dear Statalist users,
-round_exact- has been updated on SSC to version 4.0.6.
New features include:
* Direct conversion and exact rounding of string variables using either -generate()- or -replace-.
* Raw-macro interception for string literals with -fromstring-, allowing exact decimal evaluation before binary floating-point conversion.
* A revised machine-precision-aware rounding boundary:
delta_z = 4*c(epsdouble)*z + 1e-12
* Faster processing through replacement of regular-expression parsing with pure string operations, improved handling of "." and empty-string missing values, and reduced memory usage through -str2045- temporary storage.
To install or update:
ssc install round_exact, replace
Comments and bug reports are greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
