.SH NAME
Tcl_NewDoubleObj, Tcl_SetDoubleObj, Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj \- manipulate Tcl objects as floating-point values
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fB#include <tcl.h>\fR
.sp
Tcl_Obj *
\fBTcl_NewDoubleObj\fR(\fIdoubleValue\fR)
.sp
\fBTcl_SetDoubleObj\fR(\fIobjPtr, doubleValue\fR)
.sp
int
\fBTcl_GetDoubleFromObj\fR(\fIinterp, objPtr, doublePtr\fR)
.SH ARGUMENTS
.AS Tcl_Interp doubleValue in/out
.AP double doubleValue in
A double-precision floating point value used to initialize or set a double object.
.AP Tcl_Obj *objPtr in/out
For \fBTcl_SetDoubleObj\fR, this points to the object to be converted
to double type.
For \fBTcl_GetDoubleFromObj\fR, this refers to the object
from which to get a double value;
if \fIobjPtr\fR does not already point to a double object,
an attempt will be made to convert it to one.
.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in/out
If an error occurs during conversion,
an error message is left in the interpreter's result object
unless \fIinterp\fR is NULL.
.AP double *doublePtr out
Points to place to store the double value
obtained from \fIobjPtr\fR.
.BE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
These procedures are used to create, modify, and read
double Tcl objects from C code.
\fBTcl_NewDoubleObj\fR and \fBTcl_SetDoubleObj\fR
will create a new object of double type
or modify an existing object to have double type.
Both of these procedures set the object to have the
double-precision floating point value given by \fIdoubleValue\fR;
\fBTcl_NewDoubleObj\fR returns a pointer to a newly created object
with reference count zero.
Both procedures set the object's type to be double
and assign the double value to the object's internal representation
\fIdoubleValue\fR member.
\fBTcl_SetDoubleObj\fR invalidates any old string representation
and, if the object is not already a double object,
frees any old internal representation.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetDoubleFromObj\fR attempts to return a double value
from the Tcl object \fIobjPtr\fR.
If the object is not already a double object,
it will attempt to convert it to one.
If an error occurs during conversion, it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
and leaves an error message in the interpreter's result object
unless \fIinterp\fR is NULL.
Otherwise, it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR and stores the double value
in the address given by \fIdoublePtr\fR.
If the object is not already a double object,
the conversion will free any old internal representation.
