This directory contains the C and assembler source code for BigNum.
The subdirectory doc contains the documentation files:
bn.tex - Document BigNum in LaTeX format
bnf.tex - Document BigNum in French and LaTeX format
makeidx.sty - macro used in BigNum document
The subdirectory h contains the C include files:
BigZ.h - Types and structures for clients of BigZ
BigNum.h - Types and structures for clients of BigNum
The subdirectory c contains the C source files:
KerN.c - BigNum implementation ("kernel" routines)
bn/bn*.c - BigNum implementation ("non-kernel" routines),
that is bnInit.c, bnMult.c, bnDivide.c and bnCmp.c
bz.c - BigZ implementation
bzf.c - Miscellaneous functions built on top of BigZ
bztest.c - Test program for verifying a BigNum implementation
testKerN.c - Test program for verifying KerN implementation
The subdirectory s contains the assembler source files:
vaxKerN.s - Vax/U*ix implementation of KerN
vaxKerN.mar - Vax/VMS implementation of KerN
68KerN.s - 68020 implementation of KerN (MIT syntax)
68KerN_mot.s - 68020 implementation of KerN (Motorola syntax)
nsKerN.s - NS implementation of KerN
mipsKerN.s - MIPS implementation of KerN
pyramidKerN.s - Pyramid implementation of KerN
i960KerN.s - Intel 80960 implementation of KerN
sparcKerN.s - SPARC implementation of KerN
sparcfpuKerN.s - SPARC implementation of KerN using FPU, may
give faster multiplication on SPARC
implementations with fast floating point
supersparcKerN.s - SPARC V8 implementation of KerN
(with hardware integer multiplication)
Other Files:
Makefile - U*ix makefile
VMSmakefile - VMS makefile
MSDOSmakefile - MSDOS makefile
Now, to build or modify the current version of the package, type one of:
on U*ix system:
make vax - to use vax assembly code
make 68K - to use 68020 assembly code
make ns - to use NS assembly code
make mips - to use mips assembly code
make pyramid - to use pyramid assembly code
make i960 - to use intel 80960 assembly code
make sparc - to use sparc assembly code (SunOS 4)
make sparcfpu - to use sparc assembly code (with multiply in FPU)
make supersparc - to use sparc V8 assembly code (Sun OS 4)
make sparc-solaris
make sparcfpu-solaris same as above, for Solaris 2 instead of SunOS 4
make supersparc-solaris
make C16 - to use C code with 16 bits digits
make C32 - to use C code with 32 bits digits (default version)
on VMS system: (copy VMSmakefile to Makefile, before)
mms vax - to use vax assembly code (default version)
mms C32 - to use C code with 32 bits digits
we suppose you have defined the standard libraries of C-VMS with:
define lnk$library sys$library:vaxccurse
define lnk$library_1 sys$library:vaxcrtlg
define lnk$library_2 sys$library:vaxcrtl
on MSDOS system: (copy MSDOSmakefile to Makefile, before)
make makefile - to use C code (16 bits digits)
Each of these commands products the following files:
on U*ix system:
BigNum.a - BigNum library
testKerN - Test program executable for KerN
bztest - Test program executable for BigZ
on VMS system:
BigNum.olb - BigNum library
testKerN.exe - Test program executable for KerN
bztest.exe - Test program executable for BigZ
on MSDOS system:
BigNum.lib - BigNum library
testKerN.exe - Test program executable for KerN
bztest.exe - Test program executable for BigZ
On U*ix system, if you have the tools LaTeX (L. Lamport's special version of Knuth's
famous TeX, as described in the Addison-Wesley book), makeindex and
dvips, type:
make doc - to build the Postscript files of the documents,
If you do not have dvips, use your local equivalent tool to print
the dvi file produced by the LaTeX command.
