Re: Large-Number Math DLL?

The big problem here is that Windows is not too well supported by most
good bignum libraries.

I will probably end up enhancing a bignum library that I wrote myself. It runs
under Windows XP, but it currently handles only unsigned integers... and I now
need floating-point math.

By the way, the C++ code that I downloaded from http://gmplib.org/ hangs up
Visual Studio 2005 (but this is typical of source code I get from the Internet).
On the other hand, there might be some C++ configuration issues that are omitted
from the ReadMe file, because they are obvious to a C++ programmer.


You will want to grab the Min-GW version of GCC.
It's supplied with Dev-C++ [1], a free C/C++ development environment for
Windows (suitable for some other languages as well, but don't ask me).
By the way, VB is not the right language to write fast code.

On my job, I mostly use VB6, because I write so many user-interfaces. For
speed, I use assembly (although I have not yet written anything for 64-bit
processors).

Thank you for your leads.

Dave
