Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto a6b7f3b018 mruby-bigint: fix memory leak by trimming bitwise operation results
mpz_and, mpz_or, and mpz_xor were not calling trim() on their results,
causing inflated size values with trailing zero limbs. This led to
incorrect comparisons in ucmp() and caused udiv() to take wrong code
paths, resulting in memory leaks when exceptions occurred.

Also added defensive overflow checks in mpz_init_heap and udiv.

mruby-bigint

mruby-bigint is an mrbgem that provides multi-precision integer (BigInt) support for mruby. It allows you to work with integers that are larger than the standard Integer type can handle.

This extension uses fgmp, which is a public domain implementation of a subset of the GNU gmp library by Mark Henderson markh@wimsey.bc.ca. But it's heavily modified to fit with mruby. You can get the original source code from https://github.com/deischi/fgmp.git. You can read the original README for fgmp in README-fgmp.md.

If you want to create your own Multi-precision Integer GEM, see examples/mrbgems/mruby-YOUR-bigint/TODO-HINT.md.

Features

  • Basic arithmetic operations: +, -, *, /, %
  • Power operation: **
  • Modular exponentiation
  • Bitwise operations: &, |, ^, <<, >>
  • Comparison: <=>
  • Conversion to and from strings: to_s, String#to_i (with base)
  • Square root
  • Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) (available if MRB_USE_RATIONAL is defined)

Usage

Here are some simple examples of how to use mruby-bigint:

# Creating BigInts
a = BigInt(12345678901234567890)
b = "98765432109876543210".to_i(10) # Specify base 10 for string conversion

# Arithmetic operations
c = a + b
puts c.to_s # Output: 111111111011111111100

d = a * 2
puts d.to_s # Output: 24691357802469135780

# Comparison
puts a <=> b # Output: -1

fgmp Dependency

mruby-bigint depends on fgmp. For more information about fgmp, please see README-fgmp.md.
