* Write doubles with the shortest digits (Żmij), digits in registers Write doubles with the conversion of Zmij by Victor Zverovich (MIT), ported to C++11 (detail/conversions/zmij.hpp). It finds the shortest decimal that reads back as the same double, and the closest one if there are several. Grisu2, used until now, is fast but not always shortest: it sometimes writes a 17th digit where 16 suffice, or a last digit that is not the closest. The layout is unchanged (1.5, 100.0, 1e+100, -0.0); float keeps Grisu2. Digits are converted eight at a time with the BCD conversion of Xiang JunBo, as in Zmij, and written with one byte swap per eight digits and fixed-size moves instead of per-digit loops. Leading and trailing zeros are counted from those bytes. to_chars() uses a local buffer when the caller's is shorter than the 41 bytes this may write. The powers of ten come from the number-parsing table, adjusted where it holds values rounded up, and extended with Zmij's compressed tables beyond 10^308. write_shortest() converts its 16 digits in one vector register (SSE2 on x86-64, NEON on 64-bit Arm, both baseline) and inserts the decimal point inside the register, avoiding a store-forwarding stall that cost about 25% of the time to write a double. dump() writes floats and integers straight into the serializer's write buffer instead of copying them from a member buffer, and small integers eight digits at a time. read_eight_bytes() and parse_eight_digits() are marked always-inline, which GCC had been calling out of line in the number-parsing loops. Of one million random doubles, about 0.14% are now written with different digits, always to a value that still reads back as the same double. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Fix CI findings in the Zmij writer and its tests - bit_ops.hpp: include macro_scope.hpp (JSON_HEDLEY_ALWAYS_INLINE); fixes IWYU - to_chars.hpp: C4100 for the unused parameter in release builds, clang-tidy sign comparison, cpplint runtime/int, GCC -Wstrict-overflow (unsigned abs) - unit-to_chars.cpp: parse with the library instead of strtod (MinGW's strtod rounds some 16/17 digit inputs wrongly); no floating-point std::to_chars with icpc Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Select the Zmij conversion by a trait, not by the double overload The non-template overloads for double asserted binary64 doubles wherever json.hpp was included, so the library no longer compiled where double is not IEEE 754 binary64 (AVR, -fshort-double). A trait now picks Zmij for any binary64 type, including a long double of that format (MSVC, Apple Arm), and Grisu2 for the others. Remove the unused write_short_decimal, powers_of_ten_16, zmij::decimal, zmij::to_decimal, and shortest_digits(double).
