Recently,
on the ocaml mailing list, there has been a thread about different
Bignum implementation. Michel Quercia, numerix maintainer, stated that
numerix is not portable and works only on x86 platform:
-- Numerix is my baby, so I'll let other users say if it has merits.
Same schemeas GMP (choose a suitable algorithm depending on the sizes
of the inputs), without the double-GC problem. The drawback is
portability : works on x86/Linux.
I haven't tried to use numerix debian package, but I'm a bit puzzled by
the fact that numerix package is Architecture: any. So my question to
Sylvain, Mike and Medwards (latest changers of the package): have I
overlooked something or there is a big problem(TM) with debian numeric
debian package?
TIA,
Cheers.
