Hi Brian,

To answer my own question, there are apparently about 1,000 more lines. It looks to me as if they are, i.e., the only changes versus the JDK8 repo are those intended for this patch. Yes and yes :)

I just checked in a bug fix to BigInteger and a couple of improvements to BigIntegerTest. I'm assuming you're going to go with the code at https://github.com/tbuktu/bigint (i.e. the version that contains all algorithms), so I didn't update the "lite version" at https://gist.github.com/tbuktu/1576025.

Alan is working on an improved BigInteger.toString() that should be dramatically faster for large numbers. What's the deadline for getting this in? Thanks,

Tim
