FLEXIBLE HIGH-SPEED GENERATION AND FORMATTING OF APPLICATION-SPECIFIED STRINGS

摘要

Flexible high-speed generation and formatting of application-specified strings is available through table-based base conversion which may be integrated with custom formatting, and through printf-style functionality based on separate control string parsing and specialized format command sequence execution. Mechanisms include digit group tables for immediate output with or without separation characters, dynamic format templates, format localization and customization, funnels, digit extraction in left-to-right or right-to-left order, scaling and size estimation, leading bit identification, casting, indexing with exponent bits, division via multiplication by select constants and shifts, fractional value manipulations, batching transformations, stamping safety zones, rounding tools, JUMP and CALL avoidance, tailoring to processor characteristics and word size, conversions between various numeric types and representations, command stitching, stack parameter analysis, printf compilation, and others. Tools are also provided for web page rendering, embedded and realtime systems, various other application areas, string length determination, string copying, and other string operations.
