LibTomMath VS gmp-wasm

If you want arbitrary-precision arithmetic in C, you can use libtommath.

I wondered about Drew's "antagonism" last year when he claimed that Google was DDoS'ing Sourcehut, which is why sr.ht blacklisted the Go module mirror; see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34310674 .

I concluded he was right after I read about ongoing problems with the GMP project, at https://gmplib.org/ : "The GMP servers has been under serious load due to a barrage of clone requests from Microsoft/Github. ... In effect, Microsoft's computer cloud performed a DDoS attack on the GMP servers. ... Our servers are fully available again, but that's the result of us adding all participating Microsoft network ranges to our firewall. We understand that we are far from the first project to take such measures against Github."

Also, you can't build projects like Sourcehut by being only an antagonist, and I can think of some pretty antagonistic CEOs of billion dollar companies.

There are "bignum" implementations for every language. Though I never tested the performance impact on closed-form Fibonacci when a defined double precision >64bit is used.

Your code has an accidentally quadratic runtime (instead of linear). Since the array is appended to, the code regularly increases the memory region and has to move all the previous data over.

You could pre-allocate the memory as n is known ahead.

Different data types can take up varying amounts of memory. Take an integer as an example, this data type usually takes up 4 bytes of memory (DWORD in x86 architecture), while a floating-point data type can take up 8 bytes (or more, depending on what compiler you are using, on that offers a lot of flexibility is GMP)

I also disagree, and they were DDOS, so technically Microsoft broke a law.

>Granlund was not entirely satisfied with Blacker's explanation, nor the implied feebleness of the project's server(s)

So, every project needs to have a multi-million USD server Farm ? GMP is probably pulled by various Linux distros and the BSDs, along with other Misc projects. So no need for a huge server farm.

For people who do not know what it is:

https://gmplib.org/

The front page of https://gmplib.org/ has two other undated updates that the current server is too slow because of meltdown and they're going to replace with it with an epyc server in mid April.

Ive been trying to use the gmp library but I keep getting errors. Ive noticed that the last release was from 2020 and was wondering if there was any newer versions anywhere else. I'm currently running Fedora 38 and using VSC as my editor. This is the error I get:

You also left out GNU Smalltalk, whose PDF manual is 138 pages, and GMP, whose PDF manual is 152 pages.

If you are using the GCC, it was (probably) built with the GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library. You just have to compile your program with the library specified like: g++ mycxxprog.cc -lgmpxx -lgmp where gmp is the GNU MP library and gmpxx contains the C++-specific functions.
