7
8 Pure Rust implementation of Ryū, an algorithm to quickly convert floating point
9 numbers to decimal strings.
10
11 The PLDI'18 paper [*Ryū: fast float-to-string conversion*][paper] by Ulf Adams
12 includes a complete correctness proof of the algorithm. The paper is available
13 under the creative commons CC-BY-SA license.
14
15 This Rust implementation is a line-by-line port of Ulf Adams' implementation in
16 C, [https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu][upstream].
17
18 *Requirements: this crate supports any compiler version back to rustc 1.31; it
19 uses nothing from the Rust standard library so is usable from no_std crates.*
20
21 [paper]: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3192369
22 [upstream]: https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu/tree/1c413e127f8d02afd12eb6259bc80163722f1385
23
24 ```toml
25 [dependencies]
26 ryu = "1.0"
27 ```
28
29 ## Example
30
31 ```rust
32 fn main() {
33 let mut buffer = ryu::Buffer::new();
34 let printed = buffer.format(1.234);
35 assert_eq!(printed, "1.234");
36 }
37 ```
38
39 ## Performance
40
41 You can run upstream's benchmarks with:
42
43 ```console
44 $ git clone https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu c-ryu
45 $ cd c-ryu
46 $ bazel run -c opt //ryu/benchmark
47 ```
48
49 And the same benchmark against our implementation with:
50
51 ```console
52 $ git clone https://github.com/dtolnay/ryu rust-ryu
53 $ cd rust-ryu
54 $ cargo run --example upstream_benchmark --release
55 ```
56
57 These benchmarks measure the average time to print a 32-bit float and average
58 time to print a 64-bit float, where the inputs are distributed as uniform random
59 bit patterns 32 and 64 bits wide.
60
61 The upstream C code, the unsafe direct Rust port, and the safe pretty Rust API
62 all perform the same, taking around 21 nanoseconds to format a 32-bit float and
63 31 nanoseconds to format a 64-bit float.
64
65 There is also a Rust-specific benchmark comparing this implementation to the
66 standard library which you can run with:
67
68 ```console
69 $ cargo bench
70 ```
71
72 The benchmark shows Ryū approximately 4-10x faster than the standard library
73 across a range of f32 and f64 inputs. Measurements are in nanoseconds per
74 iteration; smaller is better.

86 ## Formatting
87
88 This library tends to produce more human-readable output than the standard
89 library's to\_string, which never uses scientific notation. Here are two
90 examples:
91
92 - *ryu:* 1.23e40, *std:* 12300000000000000000000000000000000000000
93 - *ryu:* 1.23e-40, *std:* 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000123
94
95 Both libraries print short decimals such as 0.0000123 without scientific
96 notation.
