It is technically optional. For example, see the = method in kernel/LargeInt.st: when GMP is available and used for LargeIntegers, the primitive (VMpr_LargeInteger_eq, defined in libgst/prims.def) is used; otherwise, the old representation is used and compared using Smalltalk code. GMP only serves to accelerate LargeIntegers; obviously, the effect can be extreme in certain cases :) > I will report the result of installing gmp. One thing I am curious about -- is GMP not available by default on Darwin/OS X? -- But you know how reluctant paranormal phenomena are to reveal themselves when skeptics are present. --Robert Sheaffer, SkI 9/2003 _______________________________________________ help-smalltalk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-smalltalk
