Oh, just a follow-on, here's a small perfect hash function for quadratic residues modulo 256. It does the same thing as the sq_res_100[] table.
static bool mod256(unsigned x) { x %= 256; return !(x*0x105fd & ~(x*0x502a8) & 0xff14082a); } _______________________________________________ gmp-devel mailing list gmp-devel@gmplib.org https://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-devel
