* Convert floats with Eisel-Lemire when std::from_chars is unavailable Float tokens that Clinger's fast path cannot convert (e.g. the 17-digit coordinates of canada.json) went to strtod unless std::from_chars was available. It is not used in C++11/14, and not with libc++, which does not define __cpp_lib_to_chars. The Eisel-Lemire algorithm (after fast_float's compute_float) now converts them with integer arithmetic, correctly rounded for any token with at most 19 significant digits. Longer tokens are truncated; the result is used if w and w + 1 round alike, else strtod decides as before. Overflow still yields infinity (out_of_range.406). The table of powers of five (fast_float's) lives in pow5_table.hpp; a unit test recomputes every entry with big-integer arithmetic. Further tests: known values generated with Python (whose float() is correctly rounded), 200,000 round trips through to_chars, and the 128-bit multiplication and leading-zero count against big-integer references (both with and without a 128-bit type). Checked against strtod on 6.5 million tokens, among them 60,000 exact halfway cases: no difference. json::parse on canada.json: -8.6% (C++11), -7.6% (C++17, Apple clang); other files unchanged. Compile time of a TU including json.hpp: +0.7%.
