Subject: [mpir-devel] C code cleanup done

Hi all,

today I went through all the C code in the mpn directory and cleaned it up. 
This mostly meant adding whitespace in code that was extremely cramped.

It's much easier to see what the code does now, which should make it easier to 
maintain.

The other day I commented some of the assembly code, but I gave up since there 
is just so much of it. We'll add more comments to assembly code with each new 
release of MPIR.

I'm also thinking of converting all the yasm code in the *nix x86_64 directory 
to gas format and ditching yasm. This would be better in the long run. It's 
already been converted to Windows and no one is currently writing lots of new 
assembly code. MPIR would therefore be easier to maintain without yasm.
>>
How will you build mpir with Microsoft's Visual Studio compilers if you remove 
the yasm stuff?  Or is there a way for Microsoft to compile gas formatted 
assembly language now?
<<
However, converting all that code could take quite some time. There's probably 
something like 30 unique .as (yasm format) files.

Bill.
