@jamescowens jamescowens commented Feb 5, 2024

This makes fraction addition and multiplication more resistant to overflows. See the comments in the commits. This is about as far as we can go with this short of doing __int128_t internals, and that is not going to buy us much if the output has to fit within int64_t.

This makes fraction addition more resistant to overflows.

@jamescowens jamescowens changed the title util: Enhance fraction addition by using gcd of denominators util: Enhance Fraction class overflow resistance Feb 7, 2024
This uses the "cross" gcds to do cancellation and increase
resistance of overflows for things like (1000 / 999) * (999 / 1000).
