Re: [RFC][DRAFT] GMP number as PHP number

On float support in GMP extension: Big +1, and I'd be happy to implement it. On promotion/demotion between gmp/int and gmp/float: I suspect we can keep these as a single user-type, regardless of libgmp's internal representation of them, so it's a rather moot point. On overloading empty() to deal with objects that have a notion of emptiness: I'd like you to split that out into a separate rfc and a separate discussion. It's prthogonal to the floating point issue. ((But I would be tentatively for it)) On auto-parsing gmp objects into base scalars (such as for math function arguments): Again, this feels like it should be a separate rfc, particularly since it comes with a number of open issues around how we deal with overflows, loss of precision, and whether or now we attempt to magically rebox the result on return from the function (possible, but massively problematic). -Sara On Dec 30, 2013, at 16:00, "Robert Stoll" <php@tutteli.ch> wrote: >> -----Original Message----- >> From: yohgaki@gmail.com [mailto:yohgaki@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Yasuo Ohgaki >> Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2013 12:44 AM >> To: internals@lists.php.net >> Subject: [PHP-DEV] [RFC][DRAFT] GMP number as PHP number >> >> Hi all, >> >> There has been GMP number discussion and made draft RFC for it. >> Please comment so that I can add more to the RFC. >> >> Thank you. >> >> -- >> Yasuo Ohgaki >> yohgaki@ohgaki.net > > Here the link to yasuo's RFC > https://wiki.php.net/rfc/gmp_number > > > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >
