64_decimal.c is a wrapper for the libmpdec library. libmpdec is a fast C
75library for correctly-rounded arbitrary precision decimal floating point
86arithmetic. It is a complete implementation of Mike Cowlishaw/IBM's
97General Decimal Arithmetic Specification.

12- 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)
31-
32-
33- It is possible to override autodetection by exporting:
34-
35- PYTHON_DECIMAL_WITH_MACHINE=value, where value is one of the above options.
36-
37-
38- 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).
You can’t perform that action at this time.
