perl5 VS itoa

I was not signed into GitHub. I opened the permalink and it displayed fine. I opened the raw page in another tab; it was fine.

Nothing to do with a fixing the trap, it turns out: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/4197fe35a33e6471f8f532abfd06cd6c120f180e which leads to https://rt.perl.org/perl5/Ticket/Display.html?id=109408

As we mentioned last week, this week we are working on a portable, symbolic link implementation that also works on Windows. You can see our progress here. To implement this, the Perl win32/win32.c source code would be greatly appreciated.

The hyper package for the crab language actually has a dependency on a package that does itoa (among others) so IMO the problem exist there too and most non trivial packages will be bloated

I see itoa which seems trivial on the surface. The implementation is highly optimized, but it's also covering all the different cases. I'm guessing this is for printing match counts or line numbers, and if this is actually a bottleneck for ripgrep — which seems unlikely — then maybe it's worth it. You know your own needs, and if it was a bottleneck, I bet you could do just as well, if not better, with a custom, smaller, simpler solution inside ripgrep. (i.e. just make sure the power-of-ten denominators are available at compile time so the compiler won't generate divisions.)
