Hi, I'm planning to implement arbitrary precision integers into my language. I explored several libraries implementing such functionality, but I cannot decide,...
... Hi Rudla, Which ones are you currently looking at and what do you think of them? I looked into it a while ago and think I only found the GNU one to be to...
... GMP: Claims to be the fastest one. I had problems with compiling on Windows platforms using VS 6.0 etc. (the platform I'm currently using) The code looks...
... Why are people so fascinated with arbitrary precision integers? Please don't take this as a criticism; I'm genuinely curious. Do you ever overflow 32 bit...
... GMP. ... Performance, portability, open source. ... Not to my knowledge. You can build such a library on top of GMP however. I'd recommend using the...
Another alternative is Scheme48's bignum library, because it's reasonably fast and under a very free license. You can use it for a closed-source project, and...
... Interestingly there's been a discussion on caml-list about using 64 bit ints for doing money. With precision to the 1/1000th and using Vietnamese Dongs...

There was a thread a while back about garbage collection libraries. In the processes of cleaning up Io, I've moved it's incremental non-moving tricolor...
Here's a first version: http://www.dekorte.com/projects/opensource/libgarbagecollector/ Apologies for the thin docs. Feedback is welcome. Cheers, -- Steve...
... Yeah, the docs need work. What the heck are the "free" and "mark" callbacks about? And, most importantly, where's the Collector_alloc(numBytes) function?...
... The docs are adequate (though minimal) if you are familiar with garbage collection techniques. Steve's GC implementation is a mark/sweep collector. During...
... I am familiar with GC techniques, I have Jones and Lins, I've even read about Baker treadmills a little. ... How? What is it supposed to do? Why doesn't...
... Note this sentence in the Collector.h comments: To use, make sure your value structs begin with a CollectorMarker struct. Every object that you want to be...
... That's not how I read it. I think Collector_value_addingRefTo_() is the write barrier. We'll have to wait for Steve to explain. ... Yes, I had figured...
Steve, How should one deal with values on the stack? I don't mean objects allocated on the stack, but objects referenced by a pointer on the stack (and,...

OK by open sourcing you open to code review so here goes. ... It is not incremental. You have a certain of marks per sweep and then force a finish to the mark...
