Thomas Neidhart updated MATH-778:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: MATH-778.patch

Hi,

I looked at this issue, and if I understand it correctly, the current multiply(int) method is using a performance shortcut for values of x between 0 and RADIX.

I did a very simple patch to implement the following logic:

 * if 0<=x<RADIX: call multiplyFast with x
 * otherwise create a new Dfp instance with x and call multiply(Dfp) with it
                
> Dfp Dfp.multiply(int x) does not comply with the general contract FieldElement.multiply(int n)

> In class {{org.apache.commons.math3.Dfp}},  the method {{multiply(int n)}} is limited to {{0 <= n <= 9999}}. This is not consistent with the general contract of {{FieldElement.multiply(int n)}}, where there should be no limitation on the values of {{n}}.
