Changes for version 0.05

  • Speed up mulmod: asm for GCC + x86_64, native 64-bit for 32-bit Perl is uint64_t is available, and range tests for others. This speeds up some of the factoring as well as Miller-Rabin, which in turn speeds up is_prime. is_prime is used quite commonly, so this is good.
  • nth_prime routines should now all croak on overflow in the same way.
  • Segmented prime_count, things like this are reasonably efficient: say prime_count( 10**16, 10**16 + 2**20 )
  • Add Ei(x), li(x), and R(x) functions.
  • prime_count_approx uses R(x), making it vastly more accurate.
  • Let user override rand for random_prime.
  • Add many more tests with the help of Devel::Cover.
