Version 0.2.1 of HelperLib

Posted by January 30, 2009 in Software Development

Just released the “fix” version for HelperLib: 0.2.1.

Major highlights:

  • Improved the performance for IntToStr functions for “big numbers”. (From 25 minutes to 17 seconds for a 256^10000 number). A BCD-izer algorithm was used to create a BCD version of the BigCardinal and the apply a simple “4-bit digit” to “char” translation.
  • The same was done for IntToHex.
  • Small numbers use the RTL provided IntToStr and IntToHex routines.
  • Added the last missing piece of the Collections pack: HMultiMap.
  • … and a number of other changes.
