MasterDuke i randomly noticed on the gmp mailing list some discussion about removing abort()s from their code, and gmplib.org/repo/gmp/rev/0f5102b5dea7 looks promising 01:39
there hasn't been a new release since the version i've rebased my branch against, but hopefully one will come out soon 01:40
[Coke] MasterDuke: that's a nostly empty page? 03:02
MasterDuke it's a diff, showing abort() being replaced by some __gmp_exception() function 04:07
nine MasterDuke: no protection against typos, vastly larger memory footprint, not possible to deprecate fields or give useful error messages when a field is not available, backwards compatibility concerns when adding fields (because you don't know how the result hash is used). You're right that arrays are a bit better, but only with regards to memory and access speed. 07:07
