Re: zend_u_strtod is slow - possible fix

You'd have to ask Derick. He's the one who added it. :) Note that zend_string_to_double() is not actually used anywhere. -A On Aug 2, 2006, at 2:12 AM, Matt W wrote:

Hi Andrei, Thanks for your reply. Yeah, obviously it'll still be slower than with an already-binary string. :-) But I figured it's better than before, until something better comes along... Unless there were other plans to rewrite it, is there a way to easily (for me! :-)) have it do all the conversion? I've been thinking about the different string-to-number functions (will send a separate e-mail)... Is there a reason the regular zend_strtod() code is so complicated? zend_string_to_double(), for example, is really simple (and works the same I assume, except for not handling negatives or leading whitespace). Can zend_u_strtod() be implemented with the same methods zend_string_to_double() uses?
