I'm looking for a very basic high-precision arithmetic library. I
need to be able to specify a fixed number of bits or decimal digits
(32 decimal digits should be all I need). The only arithmetic
functions I need are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,
square-root, and comparison (i.e. less-than, greater-than, equal).
Preferably this should be in C++ but I could use C by putting
everything into a single class. I looked at a couple of packages but
they were massive in size, a huge overkill for my needs. I don't need
arbitrary precision, FFT-based multiplication, etc. I could write my
own package but this task seems like a common enough need that I would
be surprised if there aren't some freeware or shareware packages much
more suited to my needs. Any suggestions on an efficient small
package that handles a fixed number of digits?

If you use a template library, your compiler will only create code
for the functions you use. Advice: try to avoid setting the limits
for yourself ahead of time, remember what happened to "640 Kbytes
should be enough for anybody"?
Take a look at CGAL, as part of it there is a numeric kernel that is
(AIUI) programmed as templates and contains part with arbitrary
precision floating points. It may be too much for your small task,
then look into OONumerics. Also, I searched for "arbitrary precision
floating point template" for you on Google and the first link that
comes up also looks promising.
Try not to cross-post to c.l.c++ AND c.l.c.

Googling "high precision arithmetic library" should yield something
useful to you.
Off the top of my head, there is GMP.

This isn't either a C or C++ question - did you try googling? Or
asking in comp.programmin g?

It could be either. He is clearly looking, one can assume, for a C or
C++ library to interface too.

Right link, wrong package.
If he wants 32 digits, then QD is the package: http://crd.lbl.gov/~dhbailey/mpdist/qd-2.2.5.tar.gz
For Windows users, try this implementation: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~yozo/sof...2.4-windll.zip
ARPREC is for gazillion digit stuff. The QD package has double double
and quad double, which sounds like it is right in the O.P.'s
wheelhouse.

I agree that Google is the best bet.
SourceForge is always worth a look.
