Arbitrary-precision integers
The rugint
crate provides arbitrary-precision integers using the
GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP). It is one
of a group of four crates:
rugint
provides arbitrary-precision integers based on GMP.rugrat
provides arbitrary-precision rational number based on GMP.rugflo
provides arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers based on MPFR.rugcom
provides arbitrary-precision complex numbers based on MPC.

Basic use
Documentation for this crate is available. It can also be helpful to refer to the documentation of the GMP library.
The crate provides the Integer
type, which holds an
arbitrary-precision integer. You can construct this from primitive
data types, and use the standard arithmetic operators. Many operators
can also operate on a mixture of this type and primitive types; in
this case, the result is returned as an arbitrary-precision type.
Examples
extern crate rugint;
use ;
Arithmetic operations with mixed arbitrary and primitive types are allowed.
use Integer;
let mut a = from;
a = + 0xffee;
assert!;
// ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
// 80 64 48 32 16
Note that in the above example, there is only one allocation. The
Integer
instance is moved into the shift operation so that the
result can be stored in the same instance, then that result is
similarly consumed by the addition operation.
Usage
To use rugint
in your crate, add extern crate rugint;
to the crate
root and add rugint
as a dependency in Cargo.toml
:
[]
= "0.2.2"
The rugint
crate depends on the low-level bindings in the
gmp-mpfr-sys
crate. This should be transparent on GNU/Linux and
macOS, but may need some work on Windows. See the gmp-mpfr-sys
documentation for some details.
Optional feature
The rugint
crate has an optional feature random
to enable random
number generation. The random
feature introduces a dependency on the
rand
crate. The feature is enabled by default; to disable it add
this to Cargo.toml
:
[]
= "0.2.2"
= false
