Hello all, I'd like to propose new library for boost - a Big Integer library. Boost has plenty of applications build upon it and some of them has to use integers greater that those ensured by C++ standard. What is more some of them needs even Pythonlike "unbounded" integers. What I am proposing is library implementing cross-platform library supporting such integers working as standard arithmetic type.
Is it a good proposal for GSoC project and who would you recommend as a possible mentor for such project?
I'd like to point Bruno's numeric_adaptor proposal http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2009/11/157732.php It looks both projects would overlap to some extent. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
