./math/bcal, Storage and general-purpose calculator

[ Image CVSweb ] [ Image Homepage ] [ Image RSS ] [ Image Required by ] [ Image Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.5, Package name: bcal-2.5, Maintainer: sjmulder

bcal (Byte CALculator) is a REPL CLI utility for storage expressions,
unit conversions or address calculations. If you can't calculate the
hex address offset for (512 - 16) MiB, or the value when the 43rd bit
of a 64-bit address is set mentally, bcal is for you.

It has a bc(1) mode for general-purpose numerical calculations.

Only 64-bit operating systems are supported.

Log message:
math/bcal: Update to 2.5

Changes:
 - remove dependency on external tools (bc, calc)
 - support general purpose calculations (program option/prompt
   switch 'b')
    - arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,
      modulo
    - bitwise: AND (&), OR (|), XOR (^), complement (~), lshift (<<),
      rshift (>>)
    - functions: exp(n), log(base, n), ln(n) [natural log],
      pow(n, exponent), root(radical, n)
 - add program option/prompt switch p to show bit positions with bit
   value of a number
 - remove commas from input for general purpose calculations

Package now includes a test target.

Log message:
math/bcal: restrict to 64 bit platforms

bcal is 64 bit only by design so use ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM to prevent build
failures on unsupported platforms.
