Some patches in the GIT repository |
Dear PARI developers, I would like to anounce some patches that are available through the GIT browser: <http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pari.git;a=summary> 1) bill-pari_err_to_GEN This patch adds a function pari_err2GEN which convert a PARI error to a GEN object. A function pari_err_display allows to convert the GEN object back to the error message. Eventually we could add a new PARI type t_ERROR for such GEN objects (they are just t_VEC currently). This would allow to pass PARI error around. 2) bill-runqueue_ellsea This patch adds a new Configure option '--mt=pthread' which allows PARI to use POSIX threads to parallellize some functions, through an abstract helper 'pari_run_queue'. Only ellsea is parallellized in this patch. This works, but expect major changes. 3) bill-valgrind_stack_fixup, bill-valgrind_stack_check These patches instrument the PARI stack allocation code so that the memory checker valgrind can detect bad usage of the PARI stack. 4) bill-polredbest This patch add a function polredbest which returns the 'smallest' polynomial in the set [P] union polred(P), where P is a integral polynomial. This is more usable than polred and usually faster than polredabs. Cheers, Bill.
