Most people seem to prefer splitting the alloc data over a field in the structure and a field before mp_d[0], while I think that'd be slower as well as more complex than the "floating-point" coding I have in mind.
My proposal will make allocations somewhat inaccurate, but I'll make sure it is never more that one percent of the allocation. I'll try my proposal at some point, to evaluate its effects. I might need to introduce a few more macros in the process, which should then make it easy to try various other alloc representeation styles. -- Torbjörn _______________________________________________ gmp-devel mailing list gmp-devel@gmplib.org http://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-devel
