This adds a minimal decimal capsule API. As can be seen from the patch,
adding anything to decimal while doing it properly is quite labor and
testing intensive, so the intent is to *keep* the API minimal!
That said, some functions are really necessary:
1) PyDec_TypeCheck() -- for obvious reasons.
2) PyDec_Alloc() -- create new decimals.
3) PyDec_Get() -- get the mpd_t, enables the use of all libmpdec functions.
4) PyDec_AsUint128Triple() -- export the decimal as (sign, hi, lo, exp).
5) PyDec_FromUint128Triple() -- create a decimal from (sign, hi, lo, exp).
4) and 5) have been requested by Antoine for a real world use case. (hi, lo)
is the coefficient as a __uint128_t split in two uint64_t.
Antoine, could you verify that this is sufficient for the database use case? |
