libmpdec
========
libmpdec is a fast C/C++ library for correctly-rounded arbitrary precision
decimal floating point arithmetic. It is a complete implementation of
Mike Cowlishaw/IBM's General Decimal Arithmetic Specification. The full
specification is available here:
http://speleotrove.com/decimal/
libmpdec will - with minor restrictions - also conform to the IEEE 754-2008
Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic, provided that the appropriate context
parameters are set.
libmpdec is the basis for the decimal module in Python-3.3.
The library has been tested on the following platforms:
amd64: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows
ppc64: AIX
x86: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows
mips32: Debian
libmpdec++
==========
libmpdec++ is a complete implementation of the General Decimal Arithmetic
Specification. libmpdec++ is mostly a header library around libmpdec's
C functions.
The library frees users from manual memory management and has an easy API
with inline operators similar to the one in Python's decimal module. Like
Python's decimal module, libmpdec++ has a thread local context for inline
operators and other functions that use the implicit context.
In benchmarks the speed is close to libmpdec (about 4% slower due to the
copying, destructor overhead and the thread local context).
libmpdec++ has been tested on 64/32-bit Linux, 64/32-bit FreeBSD and OpenBSD
and 64/32-bit Windows.
