This is an example of documentation generated by ZigDoc, an alternative to Zig's built-in Auto Doc feature. See also examples in other modes/formats. The project being documented here (as the example) is the Zig standard library. Public Function

formatNumber

Public Function
std.math.big.int.Mutable.formatNumber
pub fn formatNumber(self: Mutable, w: *std.Io.Writer, n: std.fmt.Number) std.Io.Writer.Error!void

If the absolute value of integer is greater than or equal to pow(2, 64 * @sizeOf(usize) * 8), this function will fail to print the string, printing "(BigInt)" instead of a number. This is because the rendering algorithm requires reversing a string, which requires O(N) memory. See Const.toString and Const.toStringAlloc for a way to print big integers without failure.
