'Rcpp' Bindings for the 'fast_float' Header-Only Library for Number Parsing R package RcppFastFloat version 0.0.5 Converting ascii text into (floating-point) numeric values is a very common problem. The 'fast_float' header-only C++ library by Daniel Lemire does it very well and very fast at up to or over to 1 gigabyte per second as described in more detail in <doi:10.1002/spe.2984>.
