Intinf

A simple package based on libgmp for arithmetic operations (plus some other common operations on integers)

Description

###SATS Files

1. SATS/intinf.sats: The abstract types intinf_type(int) (nonlin) and intinf_vtype(int) (linear) are introduced, and a few functions are declared for going between values of these two types. Given a static integer i, the type intinf_type(i) is for a dynamic value representing i while the type intinf_vtype(i) is for a (linear) dynamic value representing i.

2. SATS/intinf_t.sats: The interface for arithmetic operations and some other operations on integers represented as dynamic values of the type intinf_type. In general, using functions declared in intinf_t.sats may require some support of GC.

3. SATS/intinf_vt.sats: The interface for arithmetic operations and some other operations on integers represented as linear dynamic values of the type intinf_vtype. While it is a bit more involved to use functions declared in intinf_vt.sats than in intinf_t.sats, the resulting code can be significantly more efficent both time-wise and memory-wise.

###DATS Files

1. DATS/intinf_t.dats: The file contains implementation for the templates declared in intinf_t.sats.

2. DATS/intinf_vt.dats: The file contains implementation for the templates declared in intinf_vt.sats.

3. DATS/gintinf_t.dats: The file contains implementation for using values of the type intinf_type as gnumbers (generic numbers).

###TEST Files

The files in the TEST directory contain code that gives details on using various templates implemented in this package.
