Do not agree. You should have ease of use _and_ efficiency. Modern C++ techniques allow for this.
I was trying to give myself wiggle room, but I pretty much agree with you. I don't expect anything as fast as GMP, but I imagine that a plain C++ library could still do very well.
Agree, I do not want to compete with GMP on performance, but, without sacrificing ease of use, have the best performance that a fully conformant C++ implementation allows.
IMO, if you don't want to compete with GMP, you should at least allow the library to be built as a wrapper over GMP. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
