push_Float_to_rat

Declaration: void push_Float_to_rat (EStackIndex i )
Category(ies): EStack Utilities, EStack Arithmetic
Description: Pushes UNDEFINED_TAG if the float is a NAN, MINUS_INFINITY_TAG if
the float represents Lˆ, PLUS_INFINITY_TAG if the float represents +ˆ, or
PLUS_OR_MINUS_INFINITY_TAG if the float represents +Lˆ. Otherwise
pushes the equivalent tagged bignum, to within a relative error given by
RAtionalize_tol.
Inputs: i
Outputs: None
Assumptions: i points to the estack or some other locked block.
Side Effects: May cause heap compression or throw an error.
Availability: On AMS 1.05 and higher.

Example:
void push_round_Float (EStackIndex i)
/* i indexes a Float. Pushes onto the estack the float obtained by rationalizing
then converting back to Float.
