As a side note:

This issue has already been discussed a while ago; see the message thread=
s:

* QF java interface: conversion from double fields to BigDecimal give imp=
recise results
* price as double

For Java, a good default would be to use BigDecimal, but for C++ you woul=
d need a BCD lib.
So using the underlying string directly is the safest way at the moment.
