+/* Parse the initial portion of the string pointed to by NPTR as a floating-
+ point number (in decimal or hexadecimal notation), like in the C locale:
+ accepting only the ASCII digits '0'..'9', and only '.' as decimal point
+ character.
+ If ENDPTR is not NULL, set *ENDPTR to point to the first byte beyond the
+ parsed number or to NPTR if the string does not start with a parsable
+ number.
+ Return value:
+ - If successful, return the value as a double or 'long double',
+ respectively, and don't modify errno.
+ - In case of overflow, return ±HUGE_VAL or ±HUGE_VALL, respectively, and
+ set errno to ERANGE.
+ - In case of underflow, return a value very near to 0 and set errno to
+ ERANGE.
+ - If the string does not start with a number at all, return 0 (and recall
+ that if ENDPTR != NULL, *ENDPTR is set to NPTR), and maybe set errno to
+ EINVAL.
+ - In case of other error, return 0 and set errno, for example to ENOMEM. */
