classes/bigint.pmc - BigInt PMC class

DESCRIPTION

BigInt provides arbitray precision integer mathematic functions.

PMC *instantiate(): Object constructor. SELF is a BigInt Class object. Return a new BigInt object.
void set_integer_native(INTVAL value)
void set_number_native(FLOATVAL value): Sets the value of the bigint to value.
void set_string_native(STRING *value): Sets the value of the integer to the result of converting *value to a number.
void set_string_keyed_int(INTVAL base, STRING *value): Same assume number base base.
void set_pmc(PMC *value): Sets the value of the integer to the integer value of *value.
FLOATVAL get_number(): Returns the value of the integer as a floating point number.
INTVAL get_integer(): Returns the value of the integer.
BIGNUM *get_bignum(): Returns the BIGNUM.
INTVAL get_bool(): Returns the boolean value of the integer.
STRING *get_string(): Returns the string representation of the integer.
STRING *get_string_keyed_int(INTVAL base): Returns the string representation of the integer in base base.
STRING *get_repr(): Returns the string representation of the integer with the letter 'L' appended.
void increment(): Increments the integer.
void decrement(): Decrements the integer.
void absolute(): Sets dest to the absolute value of SELF.
void neg(PMC *dest): Set dest to the negated value of SELF.
