Function List

Intel's Numeric String Conversion library (libistrconv) functions are listed in this topic.

Routines to convert floating-point numbers to ASCII strings

Intel's Numeric String Conversion Library supports the following functions to convert floating-point number x to string s in various formats, where l represents the length of the formatted string allowing for full conversion (not including the null terminator).

__IML_float_to_string, __IML_double_to_string

Description: These functions are similar to snprintf(s, n, "%.*g", p, x) in stdio.h, where p specifies the maximum number of significant digits in either fixed-point or exponential notation format. If n is zero, nothing is written and s may be a null pointer. Output characters beyond the (n-1)th character are discarded and a null character is appended at the end. l is returned on success; otherwise the result is undefined.

Calling interface:

int __IML_float_to_string(char * s, size_t n, int p, float x);

int __IML_double_to_string(char * s, size_t n, int p, double x);

__IML_float_to_string_f, __IML_double_to_string_f

Description: These functions are similar to snprintf(s, n, "%.*f", p, x) in stdio.h, where p specifies the number of digits after the decimal point in the fixed-point notation format. If n is zero, nothing is written and s may be a null pointer. Output characters beyond the (n-1)th character are discarded and a null character is appended at the end. l is returned on success; otherwise the result is undefined.

Calling interface:

int __IML_float_to_string_f(char * s, size_t n, int p, float x);

int __IML_double_to_string_f(char * s, size_t n, int p, double x);

Description: These functions are similar to snprintf(s, n, "%.*e", p, x) in stdio.h, where p specifies the number of digits after the decimal point in the exponential notation format. If n is zero, nothing is written and s may be a null pointer. Output characters beyond the (n-1)th character are discarded and a null character is appended at the end. l is returned on success; otherwise, the result is undefined.

Calling interface:

int __IML_float_to_string_e(char * s, size_t n, int p, float x);

Description: These functions are similar to snprintf(s, n, “%.*g”, p, x) in stdio.h, where p specifies the maximum number of significant digits in either fixed-point or exponential notation format. If l < n, all output characters are stored in s with a null terminator at the end. Otherwise, output characters beyond the nth character are discarded and no null character is appended at the end. If n is zero, nothing is written and s may be a null pointer. l is returned on success; otherwise the result is undefined.

Calling interface:

int __IML_f_to_str(char * s, size_t n, int p, float x);

Description: These functions are similar to snprintf(s, n, “%.*f”, p, x) in stdio.h, where p specifies the number of digits after the decimal point in the fixed-point notation format. If l < n, all output characters are stored in s with a null terminator at the end. Otherwise, output characters beyond the nth character are discarded and no null character is appended at the end. If n is zero, nothing is written and s may be a null pointer. l is returned on success; otherwise the result is undefined.

Calling interface:

int __IML_f_to_str_f(char * s, size_t n, int p, float x);
