I once spent some time figuring out a bug in a crypto library. It was caused by writing in a corner case b - a, not a - b. unsigned BigNum library that faults on a - b when a < b would have trivially caught that. In addition unsigned BigNum could be more efficient (important for crypto) as extra sign checks that signed BigNum often use may bear non-trivial cost. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
