We need to decide what to do with the different limits of the 64-bit and
32-bit versions:
MAX_EMAX
default context 10**9-1
64-bit 10**18-1
32-bit 425000000
I think it would be annoying to have the values in DefaultContext,
ExtendedContext and BasicContext depend on the machine.
The best thing might be to use Emax=10**8-1 and Emin=-(10**8-1) throughout.
I don't think many applications depend on having Emax=10**9-1. If they do,
they'll have to use the 64-bit version. |
