These implementations of the bc and dc programs offer a number of advantages compared to the current implementations in the FreeBSD base system: - They do not depend on external large number functions (i.e. no dependency on OpenSSL or any other large number library) - They implements all features found in GNU bc/dc (with the exception of the forking of sub-processes, which the author of this version considers as a security issue). - They are significantly faster than the current code in base (more than 2 orders of magnitude in some of my tests, e.g. for 12345^100000). - They should be fully compatible with all features and the behavior of the current implementations in FreeBSD (not formally verified). - They support POSIX message catalogs and come with localized messages in Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Japanese, Polish, Portugueze, and Russian. - They offer very detailed man-pages that provide far more information than the current ones. The upstream sources contain a large number of tests, which are not imported with this commit. They could be integrated into our test framework at a latter time. Installation of this version is controlled by the option "MK_GH_BC=yes". This option will be set to yes by default in 13-CURRENT, but will be off by default in 12-STABLE.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
