How C++17's Floating-Point charconv Became 10x Faster

CppCon · Talk · YouTube title: Stephan T. Lavavej “Floating-Point ＜charconv＞: Making Your Code 10x Faster With C++17's Final Boss”

Why it's here

HN calls it a surprisingly fun, approachable talk on a hard problem and cites it in floating-point threads.

What it covers

Stephan T. Lavavej's CppCon 2019 talk on implementing floating-point to_chars and from_chars in Microsoft's C++ STL. It covers the history of float-string conversion and the algorithms that make it much faster.
