|
|
Big integer types for Rust, `BigInt` and `BigUint`.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
num-bigint = "0.4"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
The `std` crate feature is enabled by default, and is mandatory before Rust
|
|
1.36 and the stabilized `alloc` crate. If you depend on `num-bigint` with
|
|
`default-features = false`, you must manually enable the `std` feature yourself
|
|
if your compiler is not new enough.
|
|
|
|
### Random Generation
|
|
|
|
`num-bigint` supports the generation of random big integers when the `rand`
|
|
feature is enabled. To enable it include rand as
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
rand = "0.8"
|
|
num-bigint = { version = "0.4", features = ["rand"] }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that you must use the version of `rand` that `num-bigint` is compatible
|
|
with: `0.8`.
|
|
|
|
## Releases
|
|
|
|
Release notes are available in [RELEASES.md](RELEASES.md).
|
|
|
|
## Compatibility
|
|
|
|
The `num-bigint` crate is tested for rustc 1.60 and greater.
|
|
|
|
## Alternatives
|
|
|
|
While `num-bigint` strives for good performance in pure Rust code, other
|
|
crates may offer better performance with different trade-offs. The following
|
|
table offers a brief comparison to a few alternatives.
