I do type my signature out each time yes. I think what we have here is a classic case of cargo culting. The nature of the errors indicates that your implementations were copy pasted without any clue as to how they work. Otherwise, I am deleting this account. As it seems like you all aren't

I have no idea what you all are talking about. And no "19 digits of accuracy" is not enough for a multiple-precision mathematics implementation. I think the issue is just that you need to find a mathematician to work on the project instead of trying to busywork the problem type with patches.

[Toybox] Valgrind errors with toybox bc

Here are the valgrind errors that were requested. The problem seems to be that if you don't understand what types of numbers put stress on a bignum library, then it is difficult/impossible to force the memory errors. If one of the senior programmers involved with toybox has time to take a look
