itoa

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.

Performance (lower is better)

Functions

```rust 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:

rust 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, isize and usize. The return value gives the number of bytes written.
