I believe it's used by a bunch of places that don't really bother with attribution, what with it being marked public domain. It's notable for being extremely well documented and for the (initial at least) emphasis on simplicity.
It's probably overkill for your domain though and complexity does tend to bring bugs. A reasonable approach would probably be to implement the simple array-of-wordsize/2 strategy and regression test against that lib. Or actually the GNU one is reasonable for testing purposes, though beware that GNU's one kills the process on out of memory.
I need to write a bigint implementation for a lisp/ml compiler anyway and am probably up for making that compatible with your GC layout. Oils built and ran locally a moment ago. I'm more likely to write that for free than for money though, will send you an email anyway.
- chubot 2y agoAh OK, yeah I wasn't aware of libtom, but it seems cool. I definitely like the strategy of testing against multiple implementations -- we do a lot of that! Shell is really good for that too. Thank you for the e-mail, I'll reply more there!!
