Another implementation of Bignum

Hello Ruby hackers,

I'm working on a new implementation of Bignum, which is based on
GNU GMP library (see http://www.swox.com/gmp). GMP implements
very efficient computations with arbitray-sized numbers (much faster
than Ruby does, especially for large numbers). My code is in alpha stage
for now (no crashes, but some results are spurious). New implementation
may be selected with `configure' switch, otherwise current (default)
implementation will be used. The ready-to-try patch against version
1.6.7 already exists. Anybody interesting in ?

Thanks,
Dmitry Antipov mailto:dmitry.antipov@mail.ru
