Double to string conversion

[jj2007]

To my surprise, I can find only one confused thread in the Lab that deals with double to string conversion. Did Rui's efforts ever result in a consensus about the best algo? If yes, which one? I attach his archive, hoping that somebody can decipher it

Perhaps because double don't exist in assembly

Good point

(googling for site:masm32.com REAL8 string convert)

Unfortunately, JK's code requires a non-standard Masm installation to assemble. Bad luck

Hi jj2007,

it shouldn´t be too hard to make it assemble with a standard Masm installation - i´m sure you can do it.
There is also similar code in Raymond´s FPU Lib. The mathematical approach is essentially the same, while the implementation is slightly different.

No problem. Tested in 32 bits

Also there is an adaptation of Raymond's procedure maked by Biterider in ObjAsm library.

Hi Juergen,

HSE was faster - thanks

I don't have much time, and am working on another project, so the fastest REAL8 to string algo is on ice for me now
