Set precision to more than 100

[frostblooded]

If i understand correctly, the maximum allowed precision is 100 even if I try to use with_prec. This is a very low number. I am trying to make a program that calculates Pi. Isn't there a way to increase the precision to something like 1,000,000?

Well... you can clone and change the hard-coded value until the feature/simple-context branch is finally merged.

I think there are a few places that fix that precision to 100, like let max_precision = 100;

If you want something a little less disappointing, maybe the rug crate would be better in the meantime. It wraps the standard GNU MPFR library, so it will be as efficient and accurate as you want.

Nah, mate. I never meant to imply this crate is disappointing. I just wondered if I have missed something. Keep up the good work! :)

Is there an issue or PR tracking the simple-context branch? Anything blocking the merge? I have a similar problem as OP and I think this would work for me. I'll look at rug though.
