Well, is it worth adding such? If you're using a platform which, despite its machine word width being 64 bits, doesn't support an LP64 programming environment, you have to pay the price. Obviously one can convert 64-bit long long ints to mpzs and compute with these. Adding more _ux and _sx functions would perhaps make more sense once we get long longs that are, e.g., 128 bits on a variety of platforms. Otherwise adding such functions would just break compatibility with GMP [further], i.e., programs using these functions wouldn't work with GMP on other platforms. Although it's "To maintain full interface support with GMP - MPIR is a drop-in replacement for GMP", not the other way around. ;-) 2ct, -leif -- () The ASCII Ribbon Campaign /\ Help Cure HTML Email -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
