[It turns out that it is not entirely true that this function ignores white-space. It does ignore it between digits, but not after a minus sign or within or after "0x". We are considering changing the definition of this function, making it fail when there is any white-space in the input, since that makes a lot of sense. Send your opinion of this change to [email protected]. Do you really want it to accept "3 14" as meaning 314 as it does now?]
EWWW!! I find it perfectly acceptable that this function should fail if it detects a whitespace in its input. Howbout allowing for base 256? I'm just learning gmp now, using it for cryptographic dabblings. Seems very promising! -- Alan _______________________________________________ bug-gmp mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gmp
