========
libmpdec is a fast C/C++ library for correctly-rounded arbitrary precision
decimal floating point arithmetic. It is a complete implementation of
Mike Cowlishaw/IBM's General Decimal Arithmetic Specification. The full
specification is available here:
http://speleotrove.com/decimal/
libmpdec will - with minor restrictions - also conform to the IEEE 754-2008
Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic, provided that the appropriate context
parameters are set.
libmpdec is the basis for the decimal module in Python-3.3.
The library has been tested on the following platforms:
amd64: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows
ppc64: AIX
x86: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, Windows
mips32: Debian
