Re: proposal to bring ifactor into src/, was: Factoring large integers

It depends to some extent on which lisp is used.  I used
Allegro Common Lisp, but I haven't looked at loading libraries
into others. There is a "universal" foreign function
package that supposedly works for most lisps, so it might
not be hard.  Your job is to see if NTL does the job, and perhaps
if you really want to do something that can only be done
by combining NTL and Maxima.  Next is to find someone who
knows about GCL (the usual Maxima lisp) and foreign functions.
I can provide the sample linkages (in C) between Lisp and the
C++ library.
