Yet another bignum type
by Daryle Walker 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

This is something I've been working on for the past few months. It's in the Sandbox and I just uploaded it to the new Vault as "big_radix_whole.tar.bz2" under the "Math - Numerics" directory, i.e. <http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?action=downloadfile&filenam e=big_radix_whole.tar.bz2&directory=Math%20-%20Numerics&>. The files might choke on some systems, since I used naked min & max and the test file has #pragma marks all over it. (My IDE function-lists all the test modules as "BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE()", without anything in the parentheses, so I needed the marks to navigate the huge file.) I'm using Xcode 2.4, with Apple's special GCC, on a Mac OS X 10.4.8 PowerPC system. The only documentation right now is the Doxygen comments. It's a run-of-the-mill bignum type. It uses the philosophy of the STL containers to use a separate template parameter for the memory allocations. The type is radix-specific, also given as a template parameter. It's of the simplest bignum type, an arbitrary-length unsigned integer class. (Signed integers, fixed-point, floating-point, rational, etc., variants can all be built off of this kind of bignum.) As such, the renditions of the traditional algorithms are fairly pure. The biggest issue from a mathematical standpoint is that the type can't be a proper ring, since it doesn't support additive inverses (besides zero). Every other arithmetic operation (that doesn't need negative values) can work. The work-around for subtraction is the addition of "subtract-absolutely" member functions, which compute the absolute value of the difference, and return a "bool" indicating what the sign would have been. Many of the operations are repeated, each with optimized algorithms for the different sizes of the parameters. Since the traditional method of multiplication is actually a fused-add/multiply, member functions for such fused actions were added. There are many variants for shifting-up where additions/subtractions start since it's faster than doing a separate shifting operation first. And it saves memory, which was an important goal in all the algorithms, along with the strong exception guarantee. Besides the asserts, there is generally no protection for pre-condition violations (except for exceptions for negative results, divides by zero, and conversions). There are commented-out plans for functions that do powers and (truncated) roots, especially squaring and square-roots, and pseudo-reciprocals (for an N-digit value, find another M-digit value, with M <= N, closest to giving a product of Radix**2N, useful to implement exact-division by multiply-by-reciprocal, which is cheaper for huge N). What other routines should be added? Any hints on how to do said routines? Should there be Serialization? Could Spirit and/or Regex be used for the I/O routines? Any compiler workarounds to be added? -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com

I'd rather tie them to the resource pointer type somehow. That's just my own preference which may or may not be totally wrong (but its not). I think its too easy for people to forget to do it.

FW: [Boost-users] Suggestion for boost`s smart pointers
by Sohail Somani 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hi, Please see the following email about additional template parameters for scoped_ptr. The quick hack I wrote for it is below (I've used this in previous project as well). I think it would be very useful to many users and wouldn't change any source using scoped_ptr. Thanks, Sohail ==== I've been thinking something like (just something I hacked together just now). Not sure if there is a nicer way. #include <string> #include <cstdio> #include <iostream> template<typename T> struct DeletingDeleter { DeletingDeleter(T * p) { delete p; std::cout << "DeletingDeleter" << std::endl; } }; struct FileCloser { FileCloser(FILE * f) { std::cout << "Closing file" << std::endl; fclose(f); } }; template<typename T, typename Deleter=DeletingDeleter<T> > struct scoped_ptr { scoped_ptr():p_(0){} scoped_ptr(T * p):p_(p){} ~scoped_ptr() { Deleter d(p_); } T * get() {return p_;} // regular stuff private: T * p_; }; typedef scoped_ptr<FILE,FileCloser> file_ptr; int main() { scoped_ptr<int> a; // maintain old interface scoped_ptr<int> b(new int(5)); file_ptr p(fopen("myfile.txt","w")); fprintf(p.get(),"Hello world!\n"); } > -----Original Message----- > From: boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org > [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of David Klein > Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 4:55 PM > To: boost-users(a)lists.boost.org > Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Suggestion for boost`s smart pointers > > Sohail Somani wrote: > >> -----Original Message----- > >> From: boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org > >> [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of > David Klein > >> > >> Sohail Somani wrote: > >> > >>>> -----Original Message----- > >>>> From: boost-users-bounces(a)lists.boost.org > >>>> [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf > Of mark cox > >>>> > >>>> wow, this seems like a great idea, a scoped_ptr with deleter > >>>> would be v.useful. > >>>> mark > >>>> > >>>> > >>> I've been thinking something like (just something I hacked > >>> > >> together just > >> > >>> now).

In an attempt to fix inspect failures I have added a boost license & copyright to the following files: <http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/boost/detail/limits.hpp?r1=1.2…> <http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/boost/detail/endian.hpp?r1=1.5…> The copyright is attributed to John because he seems to have made most of the changes to the Silicon Graphics original. If anybody feels that these changes are factually or legally wrong, please let me know. Thanks, -- Andreas Huber When replying by private email, please remove the words spam and trap from the address shown in the header.
