6622432 is the one of the ones I just pointed to i.e. it's in JDK7. If Alan has a further patch and hasn't even submitted it for inclusion, it's obviously not in. I had just queried Joe Darcy at Sun about reviewing my patches for Karatsuba and Toom-Cook multiplication in BigInteger again last week. His reply was: "Yes, I apologize again for the repeated delays; I want to get your Karatsuba work reviewed and integrated within this JDK 7 milestone (the next few weeks)."  So I'm hopeful.  So far, I haven't heard of any substantive issues with the patches.  They were mostly stylistic.  As I've stated before, I also have patches that greatly improve the performance of pow() and toString() (by orders of magnitude) that I have been holding on to for a long time, and hoping to submit after the multiplication patches are approved.  (I was asked by Joe Darcy to submit in smaller patches.)  Hopefully these might get in JDK 7 too. --  Alan Eliasen  eliasen at mindspring.com  http://futureboy.us/

Alan,

I presume this was in private e-mail. Why was it not just discussed on this list? For one thing, you wouldn't then have to reiterate the conversation!
