haible |
1.9 |
Put everything into namespace cln. All fundamental data types still
|
| 29 |
kreckel |
1.6 |
carry their old names. Other non-macro identifiers are now written as
|
| 30 |
|
|
cln::foo instead of cl_foo, except where the cl_ comes from a data type
|
| 31 |
|
|
(as in cl_I_to_int()). Headers are installed into a separate
|
| 32 |
|
|
directory, #include <cln/foo.h> instead of <cl_foo.h>. Applications
|
| 33 |
haible |
1.9 |
must be manually ported to the new style. We apologize for the

The file <cl_io.h> now contains only I/O functions for characters and
|
| 135 |
|
|
C integers.
|
| 136 |
|
|
|
| 137 |
|
|
* To access the base ring of a univariate polynomial ring, now use
|
| 138 |
|
|
`R->basering()' instead of `R->basering'.
|
| 139 |
|
|
|
| 140 |
|
|
* Implement `plusp', `max', `min' for the classes cl_F, cl_SF, cl_FF, cl_DF,

|
cl_LF, cl_RA, cl_I.
|

|
|
(Suggested by the LiDIA group.)
|
| 165 |
|
|
|
| 166 |
|
|
* The conversion from string to cl_F, cl_R, cl_N now chooses the format of
|
| 167 |
|
|
the resulting float depending on the number of significant digits present
|
| 168 |
|
|
in the input string.
|
| 169 |

* Fixed a memory leak in the modular integer exponentiation.
|
| 187 |
|
|
|
| 188 |
|
|
* Reduced the stack space consumption. The default stack size (typically
|
| 189 |
|
|
8 MB on Unix) should now be sufficient in order to run all CLN programs.

|
|
asin, acos, atan, asinh, acosh, atanh.

improvement is noticeable for numbers with at least about 1000 words =

32000 bits = 10000 decimal digits.
|

`cl_boolean zerop (const type&)' were missing for type=cl_I and type=cl_RA.
|
| 451 |
|
|
|
| 452 |
|
|
* Fixed a bug: The function `cl_boolean logtest (const cl_I&, const cl_I&)'
|
| 453 |
|
|
didn't work correctly if both arguments were bignums.
|
| 454 |
|
|
|
| 455 |
|
|
* Fixed a bug: The function `cl_I mod (const cl_I&, const cl_I&)', when called
|
| 456 |
|
|
as `mod(-n*m,m)' (n>0), returned m instead of 0.
|
| 457 |
|
|
|
| 458 |
|
|
* Fixed a bug: The function `uintL power2p (const cl_I&)' returned wrong
|

| 465 |
|
|
multiplication loops from GNU gmp-2.0.2.
|

|
|
|
| 467 |
|
|
* Fixed a severe reference counting bug in the constructors
|
| 468 |
|
|
`type::type (const long)' and `type::type (const unsigned long)'
|
| 469 |
|
|
for type=cl_number, type=cl_N, type=cl_RA, type=cl_I that most often
|
| 470 |
|
|
caused a core dump.
|
| 471 |
|
|
|
| 472 |
|
|
* CLN's word sequences can be chosen to be stored big-endian in memory
|
| 473 |
|
|
(like it was up to now) or little-endian (needed for interfacing to GMP).

`cl_I xgcd (const cl_I&, const cl_I&, cl_I*, cl_I*)' by a factor
