-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The next, and hopefully final, iteration of the Extended Integer library (a arbitrary-length integer math library) is now available in the sandbox (at <https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/xint>) and the Vault (at <http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=xint.zip&directory=&>). It incorporates almost all of the suggestions offered on this list. The highlights of this release are: * It's now a header-only library. It can still be compiled if you wish (I use the compiled version for most of my testing), but that's no longer required. * The user-visible classes (integer, nothrow_integer, and fixed_integer) are all now templates, with parameters for an allocator, thread-safe operation, and "secure mode" (zeroing all memory before releasing it). * Thread-safe operation is now the default. It's slightly slower that way, but not much, because the library still uses a copy-on-write system for internal functions (where it's safe because variables allocated there can never be seen across thread boundaries). Every object is given its own storage before it's returned to the non-library caller. I've included my testing projects as well, for CodeLite under Linux and Visual Studio under Windows, for convenience. It includes a slightly older version of Ion Gaztañaga's preliminary Move library too. I haven't tested it with the current version, but it should work with that as well. The Move library is not used by default, and makes only a slight difference to the speed when thread-safety is enabled. I plan to add a few more examples, but what's there should be sufficient to get people started. - -- Chad Nelson Oak Circle Software, Inc. * * * -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwFDsoACgkQp9x9jeZ9/wR4GwCfQ3LMFyQZIuNZC71qEgDQR1fG uLwAoKR3cMA3Be859DxYgz56GsGlCqE9 =o62S -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
