libmpdec
========
libmpdec is a fast C/C++ library for correctly-rounded arbitrary precision
decimal floating point arithmetic. It is a complete implementation of
Mike Cowlishaw/IBM's General Decimal Arithmetic Specification. The full
specification is available here:
http://speleotrove.com/decimal/
libmpdec has been tested on the following platforms:
amd64: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows
ppc64: AIX
x86: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows
mips32: Debian
cdecimal
========
cdecimal is a fast drop-in replacement for the decimal module in Python's
standard library. With some restrictions (See doc/cdecimal/index.html),
code written for decimal.py should work identically.
deccheck.py
===========
deccheck.py performs redundant calculations using both decimal.py and
cdecimal.so. For each calculation the results of both modules are compared
and an exception is raised if they differ.
