PariInit(3)

📦 version 2.030528, in alpine 3.24

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so bestie, welcome to PariInit(3) — a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it's lowkey iconic. The main character module is Math::PariInit, and it loads Math::Pari with specified $primelimit and $initmem. That's the whole assignment. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Math::PariInit qw(:DEFAULT :int primes=1.2e7 stack=1e7 prime)
$bigprime = prime(500000);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

use Math::PariInit takes the same arguments as use Math::Pari, with the addition of :primes=limit and :stack=bytes. These two cuties specify:

  • :primes=limit — up to which number the initial list of primes should be precalculated. The prime prep list goes this far, periodt. 👑
  • :stack=bytes — how large should be the arena for PARI calculations. Big memory arena energy, no cap. 🔥
⚠️ Warning, bestie: the arguments primes and stack cannot be specified if Math::Pari is already loaded. Use setprimelimit() and allocatemem() instead. That's the rule, and we respect it. 💅
