Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC][DRAFT] GMP number as PHP number
From: php@golemon.com (Sara Golemon)

On float support in GMP extension: Big +1, and I'd be happy to implement it.=


On promotion/demotion between gmp/int and gmp/float:  I suspect we can keep t=
hese as a single user-type, regardless of libgmp's internal representation o=
f them, so it's a rather moot point.

On overloading empty() to deal with objects that have a notion of emptiness:=
 I'd like you to split that out into a separate rfc and a separate discussio=
n.  It's prthogonal to the floating point issue. ((But I would be tentativel=
y for it))

On auto-parsing gmp objects into base scalars (such as for math function arg=
uments):  Again, this feels like it should be a separate rfc, particularly s=
ince it comes with a number of open issues around how we deal with overflows=
, loss of precision, and whether or now we attempt to magically rebox the re=
sult on return from the function (possible, but massively problematic).
