Re: Cygwin GMP 4.1.4-3 does not work correctly


Hi Angelo,

in this case the bits precision is always a multiple of 30
(this is strange: one expect a multiple of a power of 2!)
--------------------------------------------

4.1.3 and 4.1.4 were configured / compiled with the option: --enable-nails Could you please compile your version with-nails and see if it is 'broken' in your version too then?

What is the option '--enable-nails' supposed to do?

Here is the docu: http://swox.com/gmp/manual/Low-level-Functions.html

At the mpn level, a nail build is neither source nor binary compatible with a non-nail build, strictly speaking. But programs acting on limbs only through the mpn functions are likely to work equally well with either build, and judicious use of the definitions below should make any program compatible with either build, at the source level.


For the higher level routines, meaning mpz etc, a nail build should be fully source and binary compatible with a non-nail build.
