Also, I think I might know why QI is faster then atoi/strtol. atoi/strtol handle local as I recall, QI does not... Sorry, I can't parse that. What do you mean by "handle local"?
Er, locale*
Sure, that's one. The reason is because spirit numerics are customizable. And they are even more customizable than the locales provide. For example, you can tweak the floating point parsers to handle numbers like: 1,234,567,890 or 1.234567890 exp -200 with the same high performance. And, surely, you can customize them to handle locales. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net
