_decimal.c is a wrapper for the libmpdec library. libmpdec is a fast C
75
library for correctly-rounded arbitrary precision decimal floating point
86
arithmetic. It is a complete implementation of Mike Cowlishaw/IBM's
97
General Decimal Arithmetic Specification.

Build process for the module
13-
============================
14-
15-
As usual, the build process for _decimal.so is driven by setup.py in the top
16-
level directory. setup.py autodetects the following build configurations:
17-
18-
1) x64 - 64-bit Python, x86_64 processor (AMD, Intel)
19-
20-
2) uint128 - 64-bit Python, compiler provides __uint128_t (gcc)
21-
22-
3) ansi64 - 64-bit Python, ANSI C
23-
24-
4) ppro - 32-bit Python, x86 CPU, PentiumPro or later
25-
26-
5) ansi32 - 32-bit Python, ANSI C
27-
28-
6) ansi-legacy - 32-bit Python, compiler without uint64_t
29-
30-
7) universal - Mac OS only (multi-arch)

It is possible to override autodetection by exporting:
34-
35-
PYTHON_DECIMAL_WITH_MACHINE=value, where value is one of the above options.

NOTE
39-
====
40-
41-
decimal.so is not built from a static libmpdec.a since doing so led to
42-
failures on AIX (user report) and Windows (mixing static and dynamic CRTs
43-
causes locale problems and more).
