itoa 0.3.4

Fast functions for printing integer primitives to an io::Write
Documentation

itoa

Build Status Latest Version

This crate provides fast functions for printing integer primitives to an io::Write. The implementation comes straight from libcore but avoids the performance penalty of going through fmt::Formatter.

See also dtoa for printing floating point primitives.

Functions

extern crate itoa;

// write to a vector or other io::Write
let mut buf = Vec::new();
itoa::write(&mut buf, 128u64)?;
println!("{:?}", buf);

// write to a stack buffer
let mut bytes = [b'\0'; 20];
let n = itoa::write(&mut bytes[..], 128u64)?;
println!("{:?}", &bytes[..n]);

The function signature is:

fn write<W: io::Write, V: itoa::Integer>(writer: W, value: V) -> io::Result<usize>

where itoa::Integer is implemented for i8, u8, i16, u16, i32, u32, i64, u64, i128, u128, isize and usize. 128-bit integer support is only available with the nightly compiler when the i128 feature is enabled for this crate. The return value gives the number of bytes written.
