Gregory, care to take their code and time it against Python? I'm not inclined to: reading the comments in the code, they're trying "fast paths" already described in papers by Clinger and - later - by Gay. When those fast paths don't apply, they fall back on the system `strtod`. But Python's current implementation builds on Gay's fastest code (and never falls back to the system). It's possible they "improved" on Gay by building relatively giant tables of static data. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41310> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
