For, if I built gst with gmp support, this problem does not appear.
Thanks for the note... given GMP is a numeric optimizer, I tried
reducing the number of iterations to see if it was just a timing thing
and got the following results (on OS X without GMP)
up to 7 iterations - pretty much straightaway
7 iterations - 9 secs
8 iterations - 2 minutes 50 secs
9 iterations - approx 50 minutes
CPU: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
So yes the test works.. no wonder I've never seen it finish until now!
Maybe that test should have a note by it to the effect that if you don't
have GMP loaded, forget it.
-------------------------
For context, the loop referred to is at the end of intMath.st and 9
iterations is what is shipped in the test ...
Eval [
g := PiSeries new.
9 timesRepeat: [ g := g accelerate ].
pi := g peek.
pi numerator size printNl.
pi denominator size printNl.
(pi * 100000) asInteger
]
