I've converted my BigInt module from Tango to Phobos2. It's a great test of the new operator overloading! After 2.042 comes out, I'd like to add it to Phobos.
A couple of issues: (1) We need somewhere in Phobos for implementation code (of which there is a considerable amount for BigInt). I propose std.internal.math.XXX; for all math related modules. This would keep everything tidy and hidden. None of this will be user-visible. (2) Syntax for conversion to string is undecided. Strawman: void toString(void delegate(const(char)[]) sink, string format); where format is currently limited to: d for decimal x for lower case hex X for upper case hex but will be extended in the future. If format is "", defaults to decimal. Sink takes a const(char)[] so that BigInt can keep reusing the same buffer. Eventually, whatever is chosen will require some changes to std.format, but I'd just like to get a reasonable first cut for the initial release. _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
