Right now BigInteger has a bunch of extra fields which are only used temporarily during serialization, to match Sun's format. It would be great if someone who knows the serialization format (or wants to learn) could write the code to generate the correct serilaization direcectly without using temporary fields. (Even better would be to avoid generating temporary objects when serializing, but I'll settle for getting rid of the extra fields.) --Per Bothner ___ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath

I'd like to adopt the gcj java.math.BigInteger/BigDecimal classes and the related gnu.gcj.math.MPN. This latter class is from Kawa so I'd like to make sure we can use this. Are there any problems or objections? Brian -- Brian Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
