u256 on top of u128

Open k06a opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Why not to build u256 on top of u128? Implementation will be the same as u128 on top of u64. Implementation can even be templated by subtype.

I wasn't done for performance reasons. as-bignum exclusively focused on perf. Building over u128 will cause to significant overhead

@MaxGraey agree, but I would prefer to have working implementation first and optimized shipped with update.
