| The library includes a couple of predefined objects for generating booleans, |
| signed and unsigned integers, and real numbers. These generators are fully |
| parametric. Most of the important aspects of numeric generation can be |
| finely adjusted to suit. This includes the radix base, the exponent, the |
| fraction etc. Policies control the real number generators' behavior. There |
| are some predefined policies covering the most common real number formats |
| but the user can supply her own when needed. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The numeric parsers are fine tuned (employing loop unrolling and extensive |
| template metaprogramming) with exceptional performance that rivals the |
| low level C functions such as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ltoa</span></code>, |
| <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">ssprintf</span></code>, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">_gcvt</span></code>. Benchmarks reveal up to 2X speed |
| over the C counterparts (see here: <a class="link" href="../performance_measurements/numeric_performance.html" title="Performance of Numeric Generators">Performance |
| of Numeric Generators</a>). This goes to show that you can write extremely |
| tight generic C++ code that rivals, if not surpasses C. |
