|
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*][paper] 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][upstream].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Requirements: this crate supports any compiler version back to rustc 1.36; it
|
||
|
|
uses nothing from the Rust standard library so is usable from no_std crates.*

## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
fn main() {
|
||
|
|
let mut buffer = ryu::Buffer::new();
|
||
|
|
let printed = buffer.format(1.234);
|
||
|
|
assert_eq!(printed, "1.234");
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|

## Performance (lower is better)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can run upstream's benchmarks with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu c-ryu
|
||
|
|
$ cd c-ryu
|
||
|
|
$ bazel run -c opt //ryu/benchmark:ryu_benchmark
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And the same benchmark against our implementation with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/dtolnay/ryu rust-ryu
|
||
|
|
$ cd rust-ryu
|
||
|
|
$ cargo run --example upstream_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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is also a Rust-specific benchmark comparing this implementation to the
|
||
|
|
standard library which you can run with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
$ cargo bench
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The benchmark shows Ryū approximately 2-5x faster than the standard library
|
||
|
|
across a range of f32 and f64 inputs. Measurements are in nanoseconds per
|
||
|
|
iteration; smaller is better.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Formatting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This library tends to produce more human-readable output than the standard
|
||
|
|
library's to\_string, which never uses scientific notation. Here are two
|
||
|
|
examples:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- *ryu:* 1.23e40, *std:* 12300000000000000000000000000000000000000
|
||
|
|
- *ryu:* 1.23e-40, *std:* 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000123
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both libraries print short decimals such as 0.0000123 without scientific
|
||
|
|
notation.
