const integer get_sub( const integer &, const integer & ) const; By the way here no size_type is used, because size_type suffices for the range of bytes, but not for the range of bits, which is a factor 8 larger.
Is that worth worrying about? Even on 32-bit operating systems, a 4 gigabit integer is pretty big. -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner@Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 203894
