[issue9980] str(float) failure

[Stefan Krah]

I benchmarked _PyOS_ascii_strtod without the macros, with the macros
and with always calling both fnstcw/fldcw. There is no real difference:


import timeit

s = "str(38210.0)"
t = timeit.Timer(stmt=s)

t.timeit(number=10000000)
t.timeit(number=10000000)
t.timeit(number=10000000)

# None
>>> t.timeit(number=10000000)
3.7519991397857666
>>> t.timeit(number=10000000)
3.759944200515747
>>> t.timeit(number=10000000)
3.7730538845062256
>>>

# Macros
>>> t.timeit(number=10000000)
3.780745029449463
>>> t.timeit(number=10000000)
3.777444839477539
>>> t.timeit(number=10000000)
3.7622230052948

# fnstcw/fldcw
>>> t.timeit(number=10000000)
3.765655994415283
>>> t.timeit(number=10000000)
3.7517099380493164
>>> t.timeit(number=10000000)
3.749257802963257
