mlucas for Debian ----------------- [FIXME: This README is potentially outdated] The subsection Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search in section NOTES in the man page needs to be completed. The man page for 'primenet' needs to be written. The argument parser is buggy. The relative position of arguments is relevant to mlucas, the order of arguments in SYNOPSIS in mlucas(1) should be followed to avoid confusing the parser. Only 100, 1000 and 10000 are supported for -iters flag. However, the parser will not reject unsupported arguments. Using unsupported arguments for -iters flag may trigger strange behaviour. On system with limited resources, the self-test for medium exponents 'mlucas -s m' may fail with 'pthread_create:: Cannot allocate memory'. See for details. The current fix is to run self-test on each exponent one by one instead. However, this is unsatisfactory since it does not prevent the user from running the self-test for medium exponents and getting an error. See BUGS section in mlucas(1) for details. -- Alex Vong Mon, 20 Dec 2021 23:07:38 +0000 -- Alex Vong Sat, 26 Jan 2019 17:13:06 +0800 -- Alex Vong Mon, 24 Apr 2017 16:16:28 +0800 -- Alex Vong Thu, 27 Aug 2015 22:04:58 +0800
