itoa implementation

[Peter Enseleit]

I am a newbie here so excuse my ignorance please on some libstdc++ matters.

I have come from an MS Visual Studio C++ background and am trying to write 
some simple software in Linux using c++ (libstdc++ ver 3).
I have found that there is no itoa function to convert an integer to ascii 
in libstdc++ yet.

Maybe something to put on the drawing board as it is a very useful little 
function.

In the meantime can anyone suggest another way of doing the same thing - ie: 
converting a simple integer to ascii for writing to file.

I have tried casting with (char*), reinterpret_cast<char*>() etc and these 
compile fine but, they all give me runtime segmentation faults errors.

My quick fix is to writ a crude Myitoa function using a switch statement. (I 
only need to convert numbers from 1 to 50), but I would prefer something 
better.

I am a fairly inexperienced coder, so please excuse my ignorance if I have  
missed something obvious.
