I see some problems with that: * There is a serial memory dependency problem, making the allocation check at least one more cache latency away. I don't think OoO execution will be able to hide that, as this is used. * There is a slight type error mixing limbs and sizes. The ASL patch by Per Olofsson will require many limbs to represent a size. But this is a testing feature, which should not get in they way of an otherwise desirable change. -- Torbjörn _______________________________________________ gmp-devel mailing list gmp-devel@gmplib.org http://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-devel
