Change twice used large const table to static
This table is used twice in core::num::dec2flt::algorithm::power_of_ten. According to the semantics of const, a separate huge definition of the table is inlined at both places. fn power_of_ten(e: i16) -> Fp { assert!(e >= table::MIN_E); let i = e - table::MIN_E; let sig = table::POWERS.0[i as usize]; let exp = table::POWERS.1[i as usize]; Fp { f: sig, e: exp } } Theoretically this gets cleaned up by optimization passes, but in practice I am experiencing a miscompile from LTO on this code. Making the table a static, which would only be defined a single time and not require attention from LTO, eliminates the miscompile and seems semantically more appropriate anyway. A separate bug report on the LTO bug is forthcoming.
