I have yet to see any other objection to my focus on unlimited-size integers for an unlimited-size integer library.
That's odd, because my very first posts in this review focused on your code's unacceptably-poor performance for fixed-size integers. Here's what I wrote in my review: "Performance of small and fixed-length integers is poor. This could be resolved by storing fixed-length values on the stack, or by using some sort of small buffer optimisation."
I read that as an objection to the performance of the fixed-size integers, not an objection to the library itself because it focused on unlimited-size integers.
That's how it appears to me. _____ Rob Stewart robert.stewart@sig.com Software Engineer using std::disclaimer; Dev Tools & Components Susquehanna International Group, LLP http://www.sig.com IMPORTANT: The information contained in this email and/or its attachments is confidential.
