# How to update the Ryu version used by Erlang
Last commit taken : 844864ac213bdbf1fb57e6f51c653b3d90af0937
## The basic changes to the Ryu library
To work with the Erlang VM, Ryu has been changed in three important ways. These
changes have been marked with a `//CHANGE_FOR_ERLANG` comment explaining them in
the code.
1. We only kept the bare minimum files needed to generate a double to string with the shortest algorithm, with the widest lookup table
2. We deleted the code producing the final string, this is handled using a modified version of to_chars from the MS STL. <https://github.com/microsoft/STL/blob/8f4c8163775d665d80642044ce27c4bc696127ce/stl/inc/xcharconv_ryu.h#L1302>
3. All other unneeded code has been deleted
This is build with our own makefile.
Some of the more minor difference:
- the Zero case in common.h is changed to correspond to erlang fixed point version
- the MS STL pointer check are not here. Erlang generate a 256 bytes buffer, we only need 30 maximum. Beware what this mean when refactoring.
