Library for integers of arbitrary length.

[HarryK]

Does anyone know of a C/C++ library for working with integers of arbitrary length.
Thank you in advance.

Could you be more specific? What do you mean by "integers of arbitrary length"?

I understood the "library" part

I don't know what you really want. If you are looking for a library which handles arithmetics of variables with any length, the RSAREF may help you. It is part of the American PGP Distribution. But I don't know how to get it and if it is free.

Sorry if my first question wasn't so clear. By "arbitrary length" I mean interger numbers whose size isn't limited to 8 or 16 bytes, but they can be as long as required for the problem, without any loss of precision (a number with thousands of digits for example). If anyone is aware of a library that can perform arithmetic operations with such numbers, it would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Harry

Check out snippets.org

IIRC, they have some free math libraries that handle large number like you've described.

hi,
some of the examples are gmp (gnu math precision) library and the Big num library in ssleay!!
