• File ChangeLog — part of check-in [554b1b107c] at 2009-10-29 18:34:59 on branch core-8-5-branch — * generic/tcl.h: Changed the typedef for the mp_digit type from: typedef unsigned long mp_digit; to: typedef unsigned int mp_digit; For 32-bit builds where "long" and "int" are two names for the same thing, this is no change at all. For 64-bit builds, though, this causes the dp[] array of an mp_int to be made up of 32-bit elements instead of 64-bit elements. This is a huge improvement because details elsewhere in the mp_int implementation cause only 28 bits of each element to be actually used storing number data. Without this change bignums are over 50% wasted space on 64-bit systems. [Bug 2800740]. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** For 64-bit builds, callers of routines with (mp_digit) or (mp_digit *) arguments *will*, and callers of routines with (mp_int *) arguments *may* suffer both binary and stubs incompatibilities with Tcl releases 8.5.0 - 8.5.7. Such possibilities should be checked, and if such incompatibilities are present, suitable [package require] requirements on the Tcl release should be put in place to keep such built code [load]-ing only in Tcl interps that are compatible.
