Build Status

gmp is a Rubygem providing Ruby bindings to the GMP library, and to the MPFR library (optional). Here is the introduction paragraph at GMP's homepage:

GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. There is no practical limit to the precision except the ones implied by the available memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular interface.

The main target applications for GMP are cryptography applications and research, Internet security applications, algebra systems, computational algebra research, etc.

GMP is carefully designed to be as fast as possible, both for small operands and for huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as the basic arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, with highly optimised assembly code for the most common inner loops for a lot of CPUs, and by a general emphasis on speed.

GMP is faster than any other bignum library. The advantage for GMP increases with the operand sizes for many operations, since GMP uses asymptotically faster algorithms.

The first GMP release was made in 1991. It is continually developed and maintained, with a new release about once a year.

GMP is distributed under the GNU LGPL. This license makes the library free to use, share, and improve, and allows you to pass on the result. The license gives freedoms, but also sets firm restrictions on the use with non-free programs.

GMP is part of the GNU project. For more information about the GNU project, please see the official GNU web site.

GMP's main target platforms are Unix-type systems, such as GNU/Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, Mac OS X/Darwin, BSD, AIX, etc. It also is known to work on Windoze in 32-bit mode.

GMP is brought to you by a team listed in the manual.

GMP is carefully developed and maintained, both technically and legally. We of course inspect and test contributed code carefully, but equally importantly we make sure we have the legal right to distribute the contributions, meaning users can safely use GMP. To achieve this, we will ask contributors to sign paperwork where they allow us to distribute their work."

Support

  • GMP 4.3.x and GMP 5.x are each supported against Ruby (MRI) 1.9.x, 2.0.0, and 2.1.0. GMP 5.1.x is the only version of GMP that has been tested recently.
  • MPFR 3.x is supported.
  • Other Ruby platforms (such as Rubinius and JRuby) should be supported, but have not been tested recently.

Constants

The GMP module includes the following constants. Mathematical constants, such as pi, are defined under class methods of GMP::F, listed below.

  • GMP::GMP_VERSION - A string like "5.0.1"
  • GMP::GMP_CC - The compiler used to compile GMP
  • GMP::GMP_CFLAGS - The CFLAGS used to compile GMP
  • GMP::GMP_BITS_PER_LIMB The number of bits per limb
  • GMP::GMP_NUMB_MAX - The maximum value that can be stored in the number part of a limb

If MPFR is available:

  • GMP::MPFR_VERSION - A string like "2.4.2"
  • GMP::MPFR_PREC_MIN - The minimum precision available
  • GMP::MPFR_PREC_MAX - The maximum precision available
  • GMP::GMP_RNDN - The constant representing "round to nearest"
  • GMP::GMP_RNDZ - The constant representing "round toward zero"

                           base can be a Fixnum in the ranges \[2, 62\] or
                           \[-36, -2\] or a Symbol: one of :bin, :oct,
                           :dec, or :hex.

Functional Mappings

In order to align better with the GMP paradigms of using return arguments, I have started creating "functional mappings", singleton methods that map directly to functions in GMP. These methods take return arguments, so that passing an object to a functional mapping may change the object itself. For example:

a = GMP::Z(0)
b = GMP::Z(13)
c = GMP::Z(17)
GMP::Z.add(a, b, c)
a  #=> 30

Here's a fun list of all of the functional mappings written so far:

GMP::Z
  .abs          .add          .addmul       .cdiv_q_2exp  .cdiv_r_2exp  .com
  .congruent?   .divexact     .divisible?   .fdiv_q_2exp  .fdiv_r_2exp  .lcm
  .mul          .mul_2exp
  .neg          .nextprime    .sqrt         .sub          .submul       .tdiv_q_2exp
  .tdiv_r_2exp

Documentation

  • This README
  • Loren Segal and the guys at RubyGems.org are awesome: YARDoc.
  • There should be a manual.pdf here. I spend waaay too much time working on this, but it looks very pretty.
  • CHANGELOG

Testing

Tests can be run with rake test. I like to run tests and print out a quick report of Ruby, GMP, and MPFR versions with rake report. You can precede any rake task with GMP=gmp_install_dir and MPFR=mpfr_install_dir (or MPFR=--no-mpfr) to pass --with-gmp-dir and --with-mpfr-dir options to extconf.rb as well.

You can also run tests from an individual file with:

cd test
ruby some_test_file.rb

Known Issues

Don't call GMP::RandState(:lc_2exp_size). Give a 2nd arg.

Don't use multiple assignment (a = b = GMP::Z(0)) with functional mappings:

    >> a = b = GMP::Z(0)
    => 0
    >> GMP::Z.mul(a, GMP::Z(2), GMP::Z(3))
    => nil
    >> a
    => 6
    >> b
    => 6

JRuby has some interesting bugs and flickering tests. GMP::Z(GMP::GMP_NUMB_MAX) for example, blows up.

Precision

Precision can be explicitely set as second argument for GMP::F.new(). If there is no explicit precision, highest precision of all GMP::F arguments is used. That doesn't ensure that result will be exact. For details, consult any paper about floating point arithmetics.

Default precision can be explicitely set by passing 0 as the second argument for to GMP::F.new(). In particular, you can set precision of copy of GMP::F object by:

new_obj = GMP::F.new(old_obj, 0)

Precision argument, and default_precision will be rounded up to whatever GMP thinks is appropriate.

Todo

  • GMP::Z#to_d_2exp, #kronecker, #bin, ::lucnum2, #combit, #fits_x?
  • GMP::Q#to_s(base), GMP::F#to_s(base) (test it!)
  • benchmark pi
  • a butt-load of functional mappings. 47-ish sets.
  • investigate possible memory leaks when using GMP::Q(22/7) for example
  • beef up r_gmpq_initialize; I don't like to rely on mpz_set_value.
  • finish compile-results.rb
  • check if mpz_mul_ui would optimize GMP::Z#*
  • New in MPFR 3.1.0: mpfr_frexp, mpfr_grandom, mpfr_z_sub, divide-by-zero exception (?)
  • JRuby doesn't like some MPFR stuff, specifically sqrt tests fail.
  • Rubinius in 1.9 mode fails a sprintf test in a minor way.

The below are inherited from Tomasz. I will go through these and see which are still relevant, and which I understand.

  • mpz_fits_* and 31 vs. 32 integer variables
  • check if mpz_addmul_ui would optimize some statements
  • some system that allows using denref and numref as normal ruby objects
  • takeover code that replaces all Bignums with GMP::Z
  • better bignum parser (crawling into the Bignum extension)
  • zero-copy method for strings generation
  • benchmarks against Python GMP and Perl GMP
  • dup methods for GMP::Q and GMP::F
  • integrate F into system
  • should Z.\[\] bits be 0/1 or true/false, 0 is true, which might surprise users
  • any2small_integer()
  • powm with negative exponents
  • check if different sorting of operations gives better cache usage
  • GMP::\* op RubyFloat and RubyFloat op GMP::\*
