Perhaps you have solved it already. If not, here’s my idea: You could pre-calculate (x mod 97) for x a power of 2. Then use that data (and additivity of taking a modulus) as follows:

def computation(x):
# pre-compute this table
n_bits = 128
a = {0:1}
for i in range(n_bits):
a[i+1] = 2*a[i] % 97

res = 0
for i in range(n_bits):
if(x & (1< res += a[i]
return 98 – res

Hope it helps

mod-97 one digit at a time. Not large values in play.

perl -e ‘$m = 0; foreach $d (1, 0, 0, 0, 0) { $m = ($m * 10 + $d) % 97; } print “$m\n”;’

Hi Benjamin!

I don’t follow gtk-devel-list so no, I haven’t heard about it. I am not at all opposed to integrate gdl into gtk+ but I definitly won’t have time to do all the work.

The coding style of gdl overall probably isn’t too bad, the documentation needs to be completed and the remaining bugs of gdl (all!) need to be fixed if this is going to be in gtk+ because it still has some rough edges. The problem is that you need a lot of knowledge of all the internal GtkWidget drawing code to be able to contribute – it’s not one of those easy tasks…

Did you read https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2012-January/msg00033.html ? In particular the part where I’m wondering about having a dock in GTK?

If Inkscape and Anjuata were using such a widget and I could get someone to port the Gimp, I think there’s a good argument for wanting such a widget in GTK core. (Also, I bet the GEdit guys would start using it immediately, they use all the crazy new stuff in GTK anyway….)

That said, such a task would probably involve lots of boring fixage to make GDL conform to GTK coding standards. On the other hand you gain the benefits of being a GTK core widget and access to all our awesome internal APIs. So I’m not sure if that’s a task anybody wants to undertake.
