Recently I have been working on a project for the Windows platform
involving arithmetic with very large integers, larger than any C data
type will allow for. As a result, I have been using GMP
(http://gmplib.org/). I have found GMP to be very easy to work with.
Why do I mention GMP? The following thread on the Wireshark developer's
list might be one example of a situation where having support for very
large numbers in Wireshark could be of value:
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200810/msg00251.html. I
did not search the list for more inquiries of this type, but I'm
guessing there are probably more. Perhaps Wireshark could be built with
GMP to solve such problems? GMP itself is LGPL, but I don't think that
precludes it from Wireshark use ... or does it?
Anyway, I just thought I would mention it to see if there's any interest
...
