Quick question, does anyone know what the limitations are, besides
memory for GMP, and also, if I write software that uses this library,
is it true that it may run differently on different hardware classes
of machines ? In other words, the same calculation on 1 machine would
have a different result than another machine would have ..
Thanks !

Just as off-topic in comp.lang.c++ as it is in comp.lang.c.
Also, good usenet manners indicates that if you are going to post the
same question to multiple groups that you cross-post it, instead of
making multiple individual posts.
Of source that is after you have exercised good usenet manners by
finding out whether your question is topical or not.

Google (or your favorite search engine) is your friend.

It mentions the LGPL license as well as bugs on various platforms.

That could possibly happen for floating-point arithmetic. I don't know.
The easiest way to check that is probably to check that. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Are there any good libraries of arbitrary precision binary floats?
I'd like to specify the mantissa length and exponent range.
Hexadecimal output would be best (decimal is disgusting with binary
floats).

Something along the lines of Gnu Multi Precision. I saw quite a few
rationals classes, but not this. Just looking to be able to use any
mantissa or exponent I want. Of course it would be software based
arithmetic.

I am a relatively new C++ programmer and am attempting to write a
function that takes a number of type float and adds commas to it in
the appropriate places. In order to manipulate the number to add the
commas, I convert it to a string (specifically a char rather than an
actual string object) using the
gcvt function as shown below.
char amt;
gcvt(amount,50,amt);

Hello!
I am trying to find a minimal class/lib that handles arbitrary precision
decimal numbers. I would be happy if this class supported as little as
addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and comparisons. For
some reason it's quite hard to find such a class on the net. Maybe
because it is trivial to implement such a class?
The only library I have found so far is MAPM
(http://www.tc.umn.edu/~ringx004/mapm-main.html). This...

I need to perform modulo operations on extremely large numbers. The %
operator is giving me number out of range errors and the mod(x, y)
function simply seems to return the wrong results. Also, my numerator
is in the format of a quoted string, which the mod function can't take.
Desparately searching for solutions,
Chadwick.

I need to apply the ceiling function to arbitrary sized (long) integers.
However, division automatically returns the type of its operands, so that,
for example: math.ceil(7/4) returns 1. I can use float, as in:
math.ceil(7/float(4)), except that for very large integers float causes an
unacceptable loss of precision.
What is the best way of finding a ceiling of a quotient of arbitrary sized
integers?
Thanks,

Hi, I need some help!
I'm writing an infinite-precision floating point library called
ipfloat (I know infinite is a misnomer - but arbitrary was taken). A
quick overview: I'm storing numbers as a char* mantissa, an int
exponent and a sign. For example, the number "123.45" would have a
mantissa of 12345, an exponent of 2, and a sign of +. I'm essentially
storing it as "1.2345x10^2".
The mantissa is allocated dynamically at runtime to...

Dear Pythonistas,
How many times have we seen posts recently along the lines of "why is

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
