/* MPZ module */

/* This module provides an interface to an alternate Multi-Precision
   library, GNU MP in this case */

/* XXX note: everywhere where mpz_size is called,
   sizeof (limb) == sizeof (long)  has been assumed. */

/*
**	These are the cpp-flags used in this file...
**
**
** MPZ_MDIV_BUG		works around the mpz_m{div,mod,...} routines.
** 			This bug has been fixed in a later release of
** 			GMP.
** 
** MPZ_GET_STR_BUG	mpz_get_str corrupts memory, seems to be fixed
** 			in a later release
** 
** MPZ_DEBUG		generates a bunch of diagnostic messages
** 
** MPZ_SPARE_MALLOC	if set, results in extra code that tries to
** 			minimize the creation of extra objects.
** 
** MPZ_TEST_DIV		extra diagnostic output on stderr, when division
** 			routines are involved
** 
** MPZ_LIB_DOES_CHECKING	if set, assumes that mpz library doesn't call
** 			alloca with arg < 0 (when casted to a signed
** 			integral type).
** 
** MPZ_CONVERSIONS_AS_METHODS	if set, presents the conversions as
** 			methods. e.g., `mpz(5).long() == 5L'
** 			Later, Guido provided an interface to the
** 			standard functions. So this flag has no been
** 			cleared, and `long(mpz(5)) == 5L'
** 
** MP_TEST_ALLOC	If set, you would discover why MPZ_GET_STR_BUG
**			is needed
** 
** MAKEDUMMYINT		Must be set if dynamic linking will be used
*/


/*
** IMHO, mpz_m{div,mod,divmod}() do the wrong things when the denominator < 0
** This has been fixed with gmp release 2.0
*/
/*#define MPZ_MDIV_BUG fixed the (for me) nexessary parts in libgmp.a */
/*
** IMO, mpz_get_str() assumes a bit too large target space, if he doesn't
** allocate it himself
