# NAME Math::Int128 - Manipulate 128 bits integers in Perl # SYNOPSIS use Math::Int128 qw(int128); my $i = int128(1); my $j = $i << 100; my $k = int128("1234567890123456789000000"); print($i + $j * 1000000); # DESCRIPTION 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. # API See [Math::Int64](https://metacpan.org/pod/Math::Int64). This module provides a similar set of functions, just `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. 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: my $ret = int128(); my $rem = int128(); int128_divmod($ret, $rem, $a, $b); # C API 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](https://metacpan.org/pod/Math::Int64) so read the documentation there in order to know how to use it. # TODO Support more operations as log2, pow, etc. # BUGS AND SUPPORT 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 bug tracking system available at [http://rt.cpan.org](http://rt.cpan.org).
