"fp" is an Xcode C++ Tool project with source files implementing multi-
precision floating point calculations. My intention is to keep it as
simple as possible, but to be of use to many programmers. It is a work
in progress. I still need to overload functions and the +, -, *,
and / operators. I would appreciate comments on:
1. Bugs.
2. Extensive use of static variables.
Essentially these are used to remember the current size of mb and fp
numbers. If a smaller size is needed, no adjustment is made. If a
larger size is needed, then through "update" in mpMath.cp the old
malloced memory is freed, and new memory is reserved in the heap
through malloc.
3. Suggestions for improvement, but remember fp is to be as simple as
possible, but useful for many. If you provide code and I incorporate
that code in my project, I'll include your names and descriptions of
that code in a separate text file.
I will be releasing fp as freeware, with no restrictions on its use
except to always accompany the project and/or source code with my
description file.
It is also my intention to use fp as the "engine" for my Extended and
Decimal plugins. Their current restrictive licenses would then be
removed.
By the way, fp is about as speedy as Victor Shoup's NTL.
