A library that performs fast, accurate conversion between double
|
||
|
|
precision floating point and text. This library is implemented as
|
||
|
|
bindings to the C++ double-conversion library written by Florian Loitsch
|
||
|
|
at Google: http://code.google.com/p/double-conversion/.

|
The Text versions of these functions are about 30 times faster than the
|
||
|
|
default show implementation for the Double type. The ByteString versions
|
||
|
|
are slower than the Text versions; roughly half the speed. (This seems
|
||
|
|
to be due to the cost of allocating ByteString values via malloc.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As a final note, be aware that the bytestring-show package is about 50%
|
||
|
|
slower than simply using show.
