My only concern is GMP float and int conversion. I prefer to have result 10 / 3 = 3 and 10.0 / 3 = 3.33333333333333333333333(to GMP precision) I prefer to have INT result for "INT op INT" and float result for "FLOAT op INT". Huge integer arithmetic has it's own usage and converting int to float automatically is not nice, since it breaks goodies of GMP int. I hope everyone prefer this behavior. GMP float and int may be separated completely. i.e. raise error for mixed usage and require explicit cast. I don't mind this implementation, too. It's less convenient, but it should work. In short, I prefer to have automatic conversion by operands, not by operator. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.net
