Whereas checking an microservice of our, i seen that it fails to simply accept strings like these:
“0x15e-2”.
The service internally makes use of strconv.ParseFloat, and the string above is taken straight from the go ref (The Go Programming Language Specification – The Go Programming Language).
The error is:
strconv.ParseFloat: parsing "0x15e-2": invalid syntax
A minimal instance to breed the error:
Is that this an error within the go spec or an error inside ParseFloat ?

Hello @Scarjit ,
I feel the error happens as a result of the exponent for hex numbers should begin with a “p”. The letter “e” is ambiguous as it is usually a sound hexadecimal digit.
