Long integers
« on: April 13, 2013, 12:25:07 am »
In FreePascal are additional types for large integer?
unsigned int64
signed and unsigned 128 bit
signed and unsigned 256 bit
?

Only int64 and Qword.
128 and 256 bit must be a record - are any procedures to work with this long structures?

Use TBCD object for big numbers, like 40 digits.

There is a binding to a math/big number library AFAIR, GMP or something like that. Maybe that covers 128 bit integers, don't know.

No, that covers theoritically unlimited precision integers (up to memory limit) ;)

I have just uploaded a unit with long integer support to github: https://github.com/zsoltszakaly/longmathforpascal.
If you need such a functionality, try it and let me know how it works.
