Though the C++17 standard has you do a comparison with std::errc() to check whether the conversion worked, you can avoid it by casting the result to a bool like so:

#include "fast_float/fast_float.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main() {
  std::string input = "3.1416 xyz ";
  double result;
  if(auto answer = fast_float::from_chars(input.data(), input.data() + input.size(), result)) {
    std::cout << "parsed the number " << result << std::endl;
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
  }
  std::cerr << "failed to parse " << result << std::endl;
  return EXIT_FAILURE;
}

This was proposed by @jwakely in https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2023/p2497r0.html

I am also refreshing the CMake.
