I think the real problem is that GMP have got it really properly definitively sorted - but their license remains an issue for some.
So this is blocking others because they don't want to reinvent an interior wheel.
But actually, I still suspect that there are many applications for which a correct (but inferior in performance) might be quite satisfactory. [/quote]
Hello! I know a library that fit your description. TTmath is a bigint/bigfloat library for numbers that are only allocated on the stack, using with C++ template and with some asm optimisations : http://www.ttmath.org/ttmath under the BSD licence (a kind of you-can-do-allmost-all-you-want licence). Since the time I know it, I have not needed other bigint or big float library (even GMP). Anyway, I think a potential Soc student should at least check it for reference. Best regards, Pierre Morcello
