Unfortunately , there is no easy way without delving into the internals of the mpz type , not terribly difficult but a little bit messy if you have not done this sort of work before > Would it be possible to add functions to MPIR for this? > Any volunteers ? By the way we should replace our existing mpn_scan0,1 functions , they are not safe to use if the required bits are set/not set which you may not know until you have scanned them. :) For compatibility we cannot replace them , but just add new functions. > Fredrik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
