Release 0.2.7
Pure Rust implementation of Ryū, an algorithm to quickly convert floating point numbers to decimal strings.
The PLDI'18 paper Ryū: fast float-to-string conversion by Ulf Adams includes a complete correctness proof of the algorithm. The paper is available under the creative commons CC-BY-SA license.
This Rust implementation is a line-by-line port of Ulf Adams' implementation in C, https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu. The ryu::raw
module exposes exactly the API and formatting of the C implementation as unsafe pure Rust functions. There is additionally a safe API as demonstrated in the example code below. The safe API uses the same underlying Ryū algorithm but diverges from the formatting of the C implementation to produce more human-readable output, for example 0.3
rather than 3E-1
.
Requirements: this crate supports any compiler version back to rustc 1.15; it uses nothing from the Rust standard library so is usable from no_std crates.
[dependencies] ryu = "0.2"
extern crate ryu; fn main() { let mut buffer = ryu::Buffer::new(); let printed = buffer.format(1.234); assert_eq!(printed, "1.234"); }
You can run upstream's benchmarks with:
$ git clone https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu c-ryu $ cd c-ryu $ bazel run -c opt //ryu/benchmark
And our benchmarks with:
$ git clone https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu rust-ryu $ cd rust-ryu $ cargo run --example benchmark --release
These benchmarks measure the average time to print a 32-bit float and average time to print a 64-bit float, where the inputs are distributed as uniform random bit patterns 32 and 64 bits wide.
The upstream C code, the unsafe direct Rust port, and the safe pretty Rust API all perform the same, taking around 21 nanoseconds to format a 32-bit float and 31 nanoseconds to format a 64-bit float.
