Hi all, we are currently working on the MPIR 2.6 release. The main new features are:
* new Windows 64 functionality (due to Brian Gladman) * new FFT (due to William Hart) The code has been developed on a separate branch, mpir-exp (http://boxen.math.washington.edu/svn/mpir/mpir/branches/mpir-exp in svn repo). Here is the remaining list of things to do: * tuneup fails on mpir-exp branch * generic build option for sage * mpir build fails on MinGW due to mpn_addmul_2 symbol defined twice Pavel * Vlad report of MinGW sandybridge combination with FFT assert failure * Chris report of mpz_get_ux failure on Itanium * mpz_powm_ui doc says -ve exponent supported, which is rubbish * fix flint bugs in primality testing code * 32 and 64 bit tuning for fft * make sure the redc_2 include bug is fixed in trunk * set up autotools to recognize new mpn/generic/mulmod_bexpp1.c file Regarding the last item, Jason, would you be able to do the autoconf stuff for this. My autotools is out-of-date and our system won't allow us to install a more recent version (autotools fanboys observe -- autotools sucks once again). Regarding the mpz_get_ux bug on Itanium, this fails on many architectures, due to a common gcc bug. Jason wanted to set up a test to reject all such broken compilers, but the test has to be run after the test for stdint.h which isn't possible. So it is not possible to reject such compilers. Which is probably just as well, as they are extremely common. So we will just have to stick with the failing test. Nothing we can do about it apparently. We'll add it to the long list of known issues about which we can do nothing. Bill. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
