Sigh! I decided (especially as most the cases I worry about are in 0-9) to
implement it like so.. (I unit tested it so I'm reasonable confident it
works and its about 3 times faster in the general case than using printf)
string convert(const int value) {
int abs_value;
if (value >= 0) {
// Optimise for single digit case...
if (value <= 9) {
return string( 1, '0'+value);
}
abs_value = value;
} else {
abs_value = -value;
}
char buf[100];
char * start = buf+100;
char * end = start;
do {
*(--start) = '0' + abs_value % 10;
abs_value /= 10;
} while (abs_value);
if( value < 0) {
*(--start) = '-';
}
return string(start, end-start);
}
