Large/Big Integer Library in pure Pascal
« on: July 17, 2022, 06:46:08 pm »
I'm working on a Large/Big Integer Library, written entirely in Pascal.
I started this project after failing to find an existing library that suited my requirements:
- must be written in Pascal, no assembly, no C, no C++
- must have an OO interface to make code conversion easy/transparent.
- must compile on all CPUs
- must compile on all word sizes... 32bit and 64bit
- must be reasonably fast/efficient, so implementations that use strings to hold integers are too slow for me.
I'm looking for people who are interested in testing and/or commenting and/or contributing to the library.
I intend to contribute the library to the FPC community, with no restrictions/limitations.

Reinvent the wheel?

If you search there are some. Eg. Gnurz.

[…] written in pure Pascal. […]
What is “pure” Pascal⁇ You know that already the notion of units is an UCSD Pascal extension to Pascal, right?
Yours Sincerely

RE "What is “pure” Pascal⁇"
I've edited my post to clarify... saying "written entirely in Pascal" would be clearer.

RE Gnurz...
Thanks for the suggestion, I was not aware of this one. Unfortunately, it's mostly written in asembly.

BigInt sources are already in the standard distribution for many years......
Object Pascal programmers should get rid of their "component fetish" especially with the non-visuals.

as I know, you can remove the assembler (only for cpu86) and work pascal pure. only some parts were written dual. to speed up some routines have implementation in asm beside the pascal implementation. So its written in pure pascal with the try on one platform (cpu86) to be in assembler. but this can revoked.

Where? I tend to search for a working and (reasonably) fast one every few years, and I never found one that works in FPC (except the bindings for gmp).

Unsuitable license; GPL2/3. But yeah, it is easier to put a few pascal versions besides the assembler ones than to start over.

 TForge had a bigint package, the repository is no longer available but there's a snapshot in the wayback machine https://web.archive.org/web/20200622073152/https://bitbucket.org/sergworks/tforge/downloads/ the license is very liberal

hello,
you can also try  the mparith library.

Quote
This archive contains Pascal source for multi precision integer, rational,
real and complex floating point arithmetic and functions. The basic routines
can be compiled with the usual Pascal versions that allow const parameters
(tested with BP 7.0, VP 2.1, FPC 1.0/2.0/2.2/2.4/2.6/3x, and Delphi versions
2..7/9-10/12/17/18/25/26).

A separate introduction can be found in the mp_intro.txt; Windows and
Borland Pascal help files are included.
For a complete list with brief descriptions see the mp_intro function list.

There are test programs that verify the functions and the compilation. Demo
programs are included for pi calculation, expression parsing and evaluation
(including two interactive multi precision calculators), factorization based
on Pollard's rho and p-1, Williams's p+1, and ECM methods, RSA attacks, etc.

My Pascal routines are based on many public resources (source code
libraries, books, articles), links are given in the mp_intro references.

yes indeed, mparith is by far the best option and with very permissible license

This one by the late Rudy Velthuis can be made to work for freepascal with a little effort:
https://github.com/rvelthuis/DelphiBigNumbers
I already did that, but I can't find it. It took me half an hour or so, if I remember correctly.
(Mostly define extensions and removal of delphi scoped units like system.math -> math. The code in itself is fully compatible and in purepascal mode also works on Unix/Linux.)

Good to see that code is still preserved even if he has passed away some time ago.

Yes, I did that as well, but it wasn't that easy and I only got it partly working. Out of the box, it totally doesn't compile.
