Crate lexical_write_integer

Expand description

Fast lexical integer-to-string conversion routines.

The default implementations use power reduction to unroll 4 loops at a time to minimize the number of required divisions, leading to massive performance gains. In addition, decimal strings pre-calculate the number of digits, avoiding temporary buffers.

A compact, fallback algorithm uses a naive, simple algorithm, where each loop generates a single digit. This comes at a performance penalty, but produces smaller binaries.

Features

std - Use the standard library.
power-of-two - Add support for writing power-of-two integer strings.
radix - Add support for strings of any radix.
compact - Reduce code size at the cost of performance.
safe - Ensure only memory-safe indexing is used.

Note

Only documented functionality is considered part of the public API: any of the modules, internal functions, or structs may change release-to-release without major or minor version changes. Use internal implementation details at your own risk.

lexical-write-integer mainly exists as an implementation detail for lexical-core, although its API is stable. If you would like to use a high-level API that writes to and parses from String and &str, respectively, please look at lexical instead. If you would like an API that supports multiple numeric conversions, please look at lexical-core instead.
