Hi,
I know the purposes and necessities of a Multiple-Precision and Arbitrary Precision Numbers Library in C++ have echoed many a times in BOOST mail chain. Moreover in past and in present many such efforts have been on to address these needs( Google SoC, XINT, and many others ). I too have a long, consistent interest in this area and so is this proposal. I am putting some of the points in Q & A format.
I'm sorry, but i don't get it. You know that there is already a gsoc implementation named xint that is ready for review and you still want to reinvent the wheel? Pleade consider taking a look at xint. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
I have seen some of the codes of XINT. Xint or any other library internally can use the implementation proposed by me. What I mean that in my proposal (which I will call Spring) the aim is different and is meant for doing something similar to what GMP does. So for performance purposes Spring aims to be as efficient as GMP. You will see assembly language codes and compiler oriented codes in Spring. Meanwhile Spring is Mathematically oriented library where Algebra of a type is deduced to manufacture numbers. So its not limited to some particular RAW integers. Please go through my proposal and we can discuss things further. Spring differs in its philosophy from XINT and should not be seen in exclusive sense. With Regards, Reetesh Mukul
