mp++ is a C++11/14/17/20 library for multiprecision arithmetic, featuring:
- arbitrary-precision integers,
- arbitrary-precision rationals,
- quadruple-precision floats,
- quadruple-precision complex numbers,
- arbitrary-precision floats,
- arbitrary-precision complex numbers.
Design goals include:
- excellent performance for small integer and rational operands,
- easy embeddability in computer algebra systems and generic C++ libraries,
- a large collection of arbitrary-precision special functions,
- an ergonomic API based on modern C++ idioms.
Design non-goals include:
- support for fixed-size wide integrals (i.e., no
uint512_t, try Boost Multiprecision instead).
Built on top of the GNU multiprecision stack (GMP, MPFR, MPC), mp++ was initially conceived as a GMP wrapper with special focus on performance with small operands. In particular, a small buffer optimisation and custom implementations of basic mathematical primitives are instrumental in achieving a performance increase, with respect to GMP and other integer multiprecision libraries, which can be substantial (see the benchmarks section of the documentation).
Over time, mp++ has accrued many additional features, including multiprecision real and complex number types, and an expanding library of special functions (built in part on top of the excellent Arb library).
mp++ is a spinoff of the Piranha library, released under the MPL2 license.
