| 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 |
