We support all major compilers: Visual Studio, GNU GCC, LLVM Clang. We require C++11.
The core of this library was ported to Go by Nigel Tao and is now a standard float-parsing routine in Go (`strconv.ParseFloat`).

1/2 even if you are under a French system. Locale independence is by design (it is not a limitation). Like the standard C functions, it expects that the string
representation of your number ends with a non-number character (e.g., a null character, a space, a colon, etc.). If you wish the specify the end point of the string, as is common in C++, please consider the [fast_float](https://github.com/lemire/fast_float) C++ library instead.
We assume that the rounding mode is set to nearest, the default setting (`std::fegetround() == FE_TONEAREST`). It is uncommon to have a different setting.
## What if I prefer another API?
The [fast_float](https://github.com/lemire/fast_float) offers an API resembling that of the C++17 `std::from_chars` functions. In particular, you can specify the beginning and the end of the string.
