Not as far as I know. I had the same problem, and ended up building a
array of float representations:
farray :: Array Int ByteString
farray = listArray (0,9999) [B.pack (showFFloat (Just 2) i "") | i <-
[0,0.01..99.99::Double]]
and using a lookup function to show the floats:
fi :: Int -> ByteString
fi f | f <= 9999 && f >= 0 = farray!f
| otherwise = error ("Can't show a value of "++show f)
This works for me, since I have a very limited range of Doubles to
deal with (stored as fixed-precision Ints).
Still, a fast and general way to output primitive data types would be
quite welcome.
