From ce84456ddf4e57c18a84858755b8b90c183a270e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Levitte Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2016 00:07:50 +0100 Subject: Math::BigInt does floored divs, BN_div does truncated div, compensate According to documentation, perl's Math::BigInt does floored division, i.e. the bdiv function does 1 / -4 = -1. OpenSSL's BN_div, as well as bc, do truncated division, i.e. 1 / -4 = 0. We need to compensate for that difference in test/recipes/bc.pl to make sure to verify the bntest results under its own conditions, by dividing the absolute values of the given numbers and fixup the result's negativity afterwards.
