# Package to store unsigned big integers in decimal and do math with them

# Internally the numbers are stored in an array with at least 1 element, no
# leading zero parts (except the first) and in base 1eX where X is determined
# automatically at loading time to be the maximum possible value

# todo:
# - fully remove funky $# stuff (maybe)

# USE_MUL: due to problems on certain os (os390, posix-bc) "* 1e-5" is used
# instead of "/ 1e5" at some places, (marked with USE_MUL). Other platforms
# BS2000, some Crays need USE_DIV instead.
# The BEGIN block is used to determine which of the two variants gives the
# correct result.

=head1 NAME

Math::BigInt::Calc - Pure Perl module to support Math::BigInt

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Provides support for big integer calculations. Not intended to be used by other
modules (except Math::BigInt::Cached). Other modules which sport the same
functions can also be used to support Math::Bigint, like Math::BigInt::Pari.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

In order to allow for multiple big integer libraries, Math::BigInt was
rewritten to use library modules for core math routines. Any module which
follows the same API as this can be used instead by using the following:

	use Math::BigInt lib => 'libname';

'libname' is either the long name ('Math::BigInt::Pari'), or only the short
version like 'Pari'.

=head1 EXPORT

The following functions MUST be defined in order to support the use by
Math::BigInt:

	_new(string)	return ref to new object from ref to decimal string
	_zero()		return a new object with value 0
	_one()		return a new object with value 1

	_str(obj)	return ref to a string representing the object
	_num(obj)	returns a Perl integer/floating point number
			NOTE: because of Perl numeric notation defaults,
			the _num'ified obj may lose accuracy due to 
			machine-dependend floating point size limitations
                    
	_add(obj,obj)	Simple addition of two objects
	_mul(obj,obj)	Multiplication of two objects
	_div(obj,obj)	Division of the 1st object by the 2nd
			In list context, returns (result,remainder).
			NOTE: this is integer math, so no
			fractional part will be returned.
	_sub(obj,obj)	Simple subtraction of 1 object from another
			a third, optional parameter indicates that the params
			are swapped. In this case, the first param needs to
			be preserved, while you can destroy the second.
			sub (x,y,1) => return x - y and keep x intact!
	_dec(obj)	decrement object by one (input is garant. to be > 0)
	_inc(obj)	increment object by one


	_acmp(obj,obj)	<=> operator for objects (return -1, 0 or 1)

	_len(obj)	returns count of the decimal digits of the object
	_digit(obj,n)	returns the n'th decimal digit of object

	_is_one(obj)	return true if argument is +1
	_is_zero(obj)	return true if argument is 0
	_is_even(obj)	return true if argument is even (0,2,4,6..)
	_is_odd(obj)	return true if argument is odd (1,3,5,7..)

	_copy		return a ref to a true copy of the object

	_check(obj)	check whether internal representation is still intact
			return 0 for ok, otherwise error message as string

The following functions are optional, and can be defined if the underlying lib
has a fast way to do them. If undefined, Math::BigInt will use pure Perl (hence
slow) fallback routines to emulate these:

	_from_hex(str)	return ref to new object from ref to hexadecimal string
	_from_bin(str)	return ref to new object from ref to binary string
	
	_as_hex(str)	return ref to scalar string containing the value as
			unsigned hex string, with the '0x' prepended.
			Leading zeros must be stripped.
	_as_bin(str)	Like as_hex, only as binary string containing only
			zeros and ones. Leading zeros must be stripped and a
			'0b' must be prepended.
	
	_rsft(obj,N,B)	shift object in base B by N 'digits' right
			For unsupported bases B, return undef to signal failure
	_lsft(obj,N,B)	shift object in base B by N 'digits' left
			For unsupported bases B, return undef to signal failure
	
	_xor(obj1,obj2)	XOR (bit-wise) object 1 with object 2
			Note: XOR, AND and OR pad with zeros if size mismatches
	_and(obj1,obj2)	AND (bit-wise) object 1 with object 2
	_or(obj1,obj2)	OR (bit-wise) object 1 with object 2

	_mod(obj,obj)	Return remainder of div of the 1st by the 2nd object
	_sqrt(obj)	return the square root of object (truncate to int)
	_fac(obj)	return factorial of object 1 (1*2*3*4..)
	_pow(obj,obj)	return object 1 to the power of object 2
	_gcd(obj,obj)	return Greatest Common Divisor of two objects
	
	_zeros(obj)	return number of trailing decimal zeros
	_modinv		return inverse modulus
	_modpow		return modulus of power ($x ** $y) % $z

Input strings come in as unsigned but with prefix (i.e. as '123', '0xabc'
or '0b1101').

Testing of input parameter validity is done by the caller, so you need not
worry about underflow (f.i. in C<_sub()>, C<_dec()>) nor about division by
zero or similar cases.

The first parameter can be modified, that includes the possibility that you
return a reference to a completely different object instead. Although keeping
the reference and just changing it's contents is prefered over creating and
returning a different reference.

Return values are always references to objects or strings. Exceptions are
C<_lsft()> and C<_rsft()>, which return undef if they can not shift the
argument. This is used to delegate shifting of bases different than the one
you can support back to Math::BigInt, which will use some generic code to
calculate the result.

=head1 WRAP YOUR OWN

If you want to port your own favourite c-lib for big numbers to the
Math::BigInt interface, you can take any of the already existing modules as
a rough guideline. You should really wrap up the latest BigInt and BigFloat
testsuites with your module, and replace in them any of the following:

	use Math::BigInt;

by this:

	use Math::BigInt lib => 'yourlib';

This way you ensure that your library really works 100% within Math::BigInt.
