@biojppm There is about 84 KB of code in there, most of it made of comments. The code volume is about the same as dtoa.c. I am not denying that...
@mingzian Can you elaborate on the applications you have in mind?
Right. Actually, ASCII characters with code points less or equal to 32 could be pruned. It would probably be faster and easier than what is currently done.
Can you give me such a character you’d want to preserve in a context where you want to remove white spaces?
That’s interesting. Yes, there are extended white space characters, but we probably can deal with them efficiently. I definitively think some good results are possible but extra work is needed....
Of course, I am! We can chat about the problem if you’d like.
