Math::Int128 - Manipulate 128 bits integers in Perl
use Math::Int128 qw(int128); my $i = int128(1); my $j = $i << 100; my $k = int128("1234567890123456789000000"); print($i + $j * 1000000);
This module adds support for 128 bit integers, signed and unsigned, to Perl.
In order to compile this module, GCC 4.4 or later is required.
See Math::Int64. This module provides a similar set of functions, just s/64/128/g ;-)
s/64/128/g
Besides that, as object allocation and destruction has been found to be a bottleneck, an alternative set of operations that use their first argument as the output (instead of the return value) is also provided.
They are as follows:
int128_inc int128_dec int128_add int128_sub int128_mul int128_pow int128_div int128_mod int128_divmod int128_and int128_or int128_xor int128_left int128_right int128_not int128_neg
and the corresponding uint128 versions.
uint128
For instance:
my $a = int128("1299472960684039584764953"); my $b = int128("-2849503498690387383748"); my $ret = int128(); int128_mul($ret, $a, $b); int128_inc($ret, $ret); # $ret = $ret + 1 int128_add($ret, $ret, "12826738463"); say $ret;
int128_divmod returns both the result of the division and the remainder:
int128_divmod
my $ret = int128(); my $rem = int128(); int128_divmod($ret, $rem, $a, $b);
The module provides a C API that allows to wrap/unwrap int128_t and uint128_t values from other modules written in C/XS.
It is identical to that provided by Math::Int64 so read the documentation there in order to know how to use it.
Support more operations as log2, pow, etc.
The C API feature is experimental.
This module requires 128bit integer support from the C compiler. Currently only gcc 4.4 and later are supported. If you have a different compiler that also supports 128bit integers get in touch with me in order to have it supported.
You can send me bug reports by email to the address that appears below or use the CPAN RT bugtracking system available at http://rt.cpan.org.
