It tries to be O(n) when base is a power of two. Which I think is a reasonable tradeoff. I was a bit surprised and disappointed when I found out (a few years ago, no idea if it's still the case) that the base-256 conversion in libtomcrypt, used by the dropbear ssh implementation which is popular on embedded systems, was O(n^2). And one use-case for mini-gmp is constrained embedded systems. > (I don't think we should accomodate spaces in the numbers, since that's > considered a mis-feature of the main GMP.) Then the documentation should perhaps be more explicit and discourage use of that feature. Speaking of documentation, the docs for mpz_inp_str isn't clear at all on what input characters are considered to terminate the input. Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller.
