NAME
Math::Int128 - Manipulate 128 bits integers in Perl
SYNOPSIS
use Math::Int128 qw(int128);
my $i = int128(1);
my $j = $i << 100;
my $k = int128("1234567890123456789000000");
print($i + $j * 1000000);
DESCRIPTION
This module adds support for 128 bit integers, signed and unsigned, to
Perl.
In order to compile this module, your compiler must support one of
either the __int128 or int __attribute__ ((__mode__ (TI))) types. Both
GCC and Clang have supported one or the other type for some time, but
they may only do so on 64-bit platforms.
OSX Caveat
On OSX, the system Perl is compiled with both the "-arch x86_64" and
"-arch i386" flags. When building this module with a Perl like this, we
strip the "-arch i386" flag out, meaning it is only compiled for the
64-bit architecture. Attempting to use this module while running in
32-bit mode may lead to brokenness. It's also possible that this will
cause other problems that we cannot foresee.
Note that if you have built your own non-multiarch Perl on OSX then
this will not be an issue.
API
See Math::Int64. This module provides a similar set of functions, just
s/64/128/g ;-)
Besides that, as object allocation and destruction has been found to be
a bottleneck, an alternative set of operations that use their first
argument as the output (instead of the return value) is also provided.
They are as follows:
int128_inc int128_dec int128_add int128_sub int128_mul int128_pow
int128_div int128_mod int128_divmod int128_and int128_or int128_xor
int128_left int128_right int128_not int128_neg
and the corresponding uint128 versions.
For instance:
my $a = int128("1299472960684039584764953");
my $b = int128("-2849503498690387383748");
my $ret = int128();
int128_mul($ret, $a, $b);
int128_inc($ret, $ret); # $ret = $ret + 1
int128_add($ret, $ret, "12826738463");
say $ret;
int128_divmod returns both the result of the division and the
remainder:
my $ret = int128();
my $rem = int128();
int128_divmod($ret, $rem, $a, $b);
C API
The module provides a C API that allows to wrap/unwrap int128_t and
uint128_t values from other modules written in C/XS.
It is identical to that provided by Math::Int64 so read the
documentation there in order to know how to use it.
TODO
Support more operations as log2, pow, etc.
BUGS AND SUPPORT
The C API feature is experimental.
This module requires 128bit integer support from the C compiler.
Currently only gcc 4.4 and later are supported. If you have a different
compiler that also supports 128bit integers get in touch with me in
order to have it supported.
You can send me bug reports by email to the address that appears below
or use the CPAN RT bug tracking system available at http://rt.cpan.org.

GitHub: https://github.com/salva/p5-Math-Int128.
