Hi,
Any plans to have decQuad and decDouble support conversion to and from binary float/double and to and from 64-bit integer?
Thanks,
Young

Not in the short term -- I would recommend going via Strings, as this will be very close in performance to a dedicated routine for these conversions.
(double and float are non-trivial conversions, so the effort in reproducing what's already in strtod, etc., makes little sense; int64 conversions are not there as it would make the API require int64s, or make some functions 'optional', which is a step thich takes some thought.)
