I''m looking for a math library that allows numbers of a variable number of bits. I know such libraries exist, but I just can''t remember at the moment. I could write my own but I''d really like to not have to spend a long time debugging it etc. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Btw the library needs to support dividing, multiplying and adding.

Could you share the reason aren''t just zero extending the bits to a standard size? I just can''t imagine what sort of application you need this for and am bloody curiou snow.

Have you looked at bit fields in C? I believe you can use them like any other integer type.
