CLN is a C++ library providing the following features:
* Rich set of number classes:
Integer (unlimited precision), rational, short float, single
float, double float, long float (unlimited precision), complex,
modular integer, univariate polynomial.
* Elementary, logical, transcendental functions.
* C++ as implementation language brings
o efficiency,
o type safety,
o algebraic syntax.
* Memory efficiency:
o Small integers and short floats are immediate, not heap
allocated.
o Automatic, non-interruptive garbage collection.
* Speed efficiency:
o Assembly language kernel for some CPUs,
o Karatsuba and Schoenhage-Strassen multiplication.
* Interoperability:
o Garbage collection with no burden on the main application,
o hooks for memory allocation and exceptions.
