mrg efee5258bc initial import of MPRF 3.0.1.
The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point
computations with exact rounding (also called correct rounding).  It is
based on the GMP multiple-precision library and should replace the MPF
class in further releases of GMP.

GCC >= 4.2 requires MPFR.

MPFR Copying Conditions
***********************
The GNU MPFR library (or MPFR for short) is "free"; this means that
everyone is free to use it and free to redistribute it on a free basis.
The library is not in the public domain; it is copyrighted and there
are restrictions on its distribution, but these restrictions are
designed to permit everything that a good cooperating citizen would
want to do. What is not allowed is to try to prevent others from
further sharing any version of this library that they might get from
you.
Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
away copies of the library, that you receive source code or else can
get it if you want it, that you can change this library or use pieces
of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
copies of the GNU MPFR library, you must give the recipients all the
rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or

Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
finds out that there is no warranty for the GNU MPFR library. If it is
modified by someone else and passed on, we want their recipients to
know that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any
problems introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation.

1 Introduction to MPFR
**********************
MPFR is a portable library written in C for arbitrary precision
arithmetic on floating-point numbers. It is based on the GNU MP library.
It aims to provide a class of floating-point numbers with precise
semantics. The main characteristics of MPFR, which make it differ from
most arbitrary precision floating-point software tools, are:
* the MPFR code is portable, i.e., the result of any operation does
not depend on the machine word size `mp_bits_per_limb' (64 on most
current processors);
* the precision in bits can be set _exactly_ to any valid value for
each variable (including very small precision);
* MPFR provides the four rounding modes from the IEEE 754-1985
standard, plus away-from-zero, as well as for basic operations as
for other mathematical functions.
In particular, with a precision of 53 bits, MPFR is able to exactly
reproduce all computations with double-precision machine floating-point
numbers (e.g., `double' type in C, with a C implementation that
rigorously follows Annex F of the ISO C99 standard and `FP_CONTRACT'
pragma set to `OFF') on the four arithmetic operations and the square
root, except the default exponent range is much wider and subnormal
numbers are not implemented (but can be emulated).
This version of MPFR is released under the GNU Lesser General Public
License, version 3 or any later version. It is permitted to link MPFR
to most non-free programs, as long as when distributing them the MPFR
source code and a means to re-link with a modified MPFR library is
provided.
1.1 How to Use This Manual
==========================
Everyone should read *note MPFR Basics::. If you need to install the
library yourself, you need to read *note Installing MPFR::, too. To
use the library you will need to refer to *note MPFR Interface::.
The rest of the manual can be used for later reference, although it
is probably a good idea to glance through it.

2 Installing MPFR
*****************
The MPFR library is already installed on some GNU/Linux distributions,
but the development files necessary to the compilation such as `mpfr.h'
are not always present. To check that MPFR is fully installed on your
computer, you can check the presence of the file `mpfr.h' in
`/usr/include', or try to compile a small program having `#include
<mpfr.h>' (since `mpfr.h' may be installed somewhere else). For
instance, you can try to compile:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpfr.h>
int main (void)
{
printf ("MPFR library: %-12s\nMPFR header: %s (based on %d.%d.%d)\n",
mpfr_get_version (), MPFR_VERSION_STRING, MPFR_VERSION_MAJOR,
MPFR_VERSION_MINOR, MPFR_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL);
return 0;
}
with
cc -o version version.c -lmpfr -lgmp
and if you get errors whose first line looks like
version.c:2:19: error: mpfr.h: No such file or directory
then MPFR is probably not installed. Running this program will give you
the MPFR version.
If MPFR is not installed on your computer, or if you want to install
a different version, please follow the steps below.
2.1 How to Install
==================
Here are the steps needed to install the library on Unix systems (more
details are provided in the `INSTALL' file):
1. To build MPFR, you first have to install GNU MP (version 4.1 or
higher) on your computer. You need a C compiler, preferably GCC,
but any reasonable compiler should work. And you need the
standard Unix `make' command, plus some other standard Unix
utility commands.
Then, in the MPFR build directory, type the following commands.
2. `./configure'
This will prepare the build and setup the options according to
your system. You can give options to specify the install
directories (instead of the default `/usr/local'), threading
support, and so on. See the `INSTALL' file and/or the output of
`./configure --help' for more information, in particular if you
get error messages.
3. `make'
This will compile MPFR, and create a library archive file
`libmpfr.a'. On most platforms, a dynamic library will be
produced too.
4. `make check'
This will make sure MPFR was built correctly. If you get error
messages, please report this to `mpfr@loria.fr'. (*Note Reporting
Bugs::, for information on what to include in useful bug reports.)
5. `make install'
This will copy the files `mpfr.h' and `mpf2mpfr.h' to the directory
`/usr/local/include', the library files (`libmpfr.a' and possibly
others) to the directory `/usr/local/lib', the file `mpfr.info' to
the directory `/usr/local/share/info', and some other documentation
files to the directory `/usr/local/share/doc/mpfr' (or if you
passed the `--prefix' option to `configure', using the prefix
directory given as argument to `--prefix' instead of `/usr/local').
2.2 Other `make' Targets
========================
There are some other useful make targets:
* `mpfr.info' or `info'
Create or update an info version of the manual, in `mpfr.info'.
This file is already provided in the MPFR archives.
* `mpfr.pdf' or `pdf'
Create a PDF version of the manual, in `mpfr.pdf'.
* `mpfr.dvi' or `dvi'
Create a DVI version of the manual, in `mpfr.dvi'.
* `mpfr.ps' or `ps'
Create a Postscript version of the manual, in `mpfr.ps'.
* `mpfr.html' or `html'
Create a HTML version of the manual, in several pages in the
directory `mpfr.html'; if you want only one output HTML file, then
type `makeinfo --html --no-split mpfr.texi' instead.
* `clean'
Delete all object files and archive files, but not the
configuration files.
* `distclean'
Delete all generated files not included in the distribution.
* `uninstall'
Delete all files copied by `make install'.
2.3 Build Problems
==================
In case of problem, please read the `INSTALL' file carefully before
reporting a bug, in particular section "In case of problem". Some
problems are due to bad configuration on the user side (not specific to
MPFR). Problems are also mentioned in the FAQ
`http://www.mpfr.org/faq.html'.
Please report problems to `mpfr@loria.fr'. *Note Reporting Bugs::.
Some bug fixes are available on the MPFR 3.0.1 web page
`http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.0.1/'.
2.4 Getting the Latest Version of MPFR
======================================
The latest version of MPFR is available from
`ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpfr/' or `http://www.mpfr.org/'.

3 Reporting Bugs
****************
If you think you have found a bug in the MPFR library, first have a look
on the MPFR 3.0.1 web page `http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.0.1/' and the
FAQ `http://www.mpfr.org/faq.html': perhaps this bug is already known,
in which case you may find there a workaround for it. You might also
look in the archives of the MPFR mailing-list:
`http://websympa.loria.fr/wwsympa/arc/mpfr'. Otherwise, please
investigate and report it. We have made this library available to you,
and it is not to ask too much from you, to ask you to report the bugs
that you find.
There are a few things you should think about when you put your bug
report together.
You have to send us a test case that makes it possible for us to
reproduce the bug, i.e., a small self-content program, using no other
library than MPFR. Include instructions on how to run the test case.
You also have to explain what is wrong; if you get a crash, or if
the results you get are incorrect and in that case, in what way.
Please include compiler version information in your bug report. This
can be extracted using `cc -V' on some machines, or, if you're using
GCC, `gcc -v'. Also, include the output from `uname -a' and the MPFR
version (the GMP version may be useful too).
If your bug report is good, we will do our best to help you to get a
corrected version of the library; if the bug report is poor, we will
not do anything about it (aside of chiding you to send better bug
reports).
Send your bug report to: `mpfr@loria.fr'.
If you think something in this manual is unclear, or downright
incorrect, or if the language needs to be improved, please send a note
to the same address.

4 MPFR Basics
*************
4.1 Headers and Libraries
=========================
All declarations needed to use MPFR are collected in the include file
`mpfr.h'. It is designed to work with both C and C++ compilers. You
should include that file in any program using the MPFR library:
#include <mpfr.h>
Note however that prototypes for MPFR functions with `FILE *'
parameters are provided only if `<stdio.h>' is included too (before
`mpfr.h'):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpfr.h>
Likewise `<stdarg.h>' (or `<varargs.h>') is required for prototypes
with `va_list' parameters, such as `mpfr_vprintf'.
And for any functions using `intmax_t', you must include
`<stdint.h>' or `<inttypes.h>' before `mpfr.h', to allow `mpfr.h' to
define prototypes for these functions. Moreover, users of C++ compilers
under some platforms may need to define `MPFR_USE_INTMAX_T' (and should
do it for portability) before `mpfr.h' has been included; of course, it
is possible to do that on the command line, e.g., with
`-DMPFR_USE_INTMAX_T'.
Note: If `mpfr.h' and/or `gmp.h' (used by `mpfr.h') are included
several times (possibly from another header file), the aforementioned
standard headers should be included *before* the first inclusion of
`mpfr.h' or `gmp.h'. For the time being, this problem is not avoidable
in MPFR without a change in GMP.
When calling a MPFR macro, it is not allowed to have previously
defined a macro with the same name as some keywords (currently `do',
`while' and `sizeof').
You can avoid the use of MPFR macros encapsulating functions by
defining the `MPFR_USE_NO_MACRO' macro before `mpfr.h' is included. In
general this should not be necessary, but this can be useful when
debugging user code: with some macros, the compiler may emit spurious
warnings with some warning options, and macros can prevent some
prototype checking.
All programs using MPFR must link against both `libmpfr' and
`libgmp' libraries. On a typical Unix-like system this can be done
with `-lmpfr -lgmp' (in that order), for example:
gcc myprogram.c -lmpfr -lgmp
MPFR is built using Libtool and an application can use that to link
if desired, *note GNU Libtool: (libtool.info)Top.
If MPFR has been installed to a non-standard location, then it may be
necessary to set up environment variables such as `C_INCLUDE_PATH' and
`LIBRARY_PATH', or use `-I' and `-L' compiler options, in order to
point to the right directories. For a shared library, it may also be
necessary to set up some sort of run-time library path (e.g.,
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH') on some systems. Please read the `INSTALL' file for
additional information.
4.2 Nomenclature and Types
==========================
A "floating-point number", or "float" for short, is an arbitrary
precision significand (also called mantissa) with a limited precision
exponent. The C data type for such objects is `mpfr_t' (internally
defined as a one-element array of a structure, and `mpfr_ptr' is the C
data type representing a pointer to this structure). A floating-point
number can have three special values: Not-a-Number (NaN) or plus or
minus Infinity. NaN represents an uninitialized object, the result of
an invalid operation (like 0 divided by 0), or a value that cannot be
determined (like +Infinity minus +Infinity). Moreover, like in the IEEE
754 standard, zero is signed, i.e., there are both +0 and -0; the
behavior is the same as in the IEEE 754 standard and it is generalized
to the other functions supported by MPFR. Unless documented otherwise,
the sign bit of a NaN is unspecified.
The "precision" is the number of bits used to represent the significand
of a floating-point number; the corresponding C data type is
`mpfr_prec_t'. The precision can be any integer between
`MPFR_PREC_MIN' and `MPFR_PREC_MAX'. In the current implementation,
`MPFR_PREC_MIN' is equal to 2.
Warning! MPFR needs to increase the precision internally, in order to
provide accurate results (and in particular, correct rounding). Do not
attempt to set the precision to any value near `MPFR_PREC_MAX',
otherwise MPFR will abort due to an assertion failure. Moreover, you
may reach some memory limit on your platform, in which case the program
may abort, crash or have undefined behavior (depending on your C
implementation).
The "rounding mode" specifies the way to round the result of a
floating-point operation, in case the exact result can not be
represented exactly in the destination significand; the corresponding C
data type is `mpfr_rnd_t'.
4.3 MPFR Variable Conventions
=============================
Before you can assign to an MPFR variable, you need to initialize it by
calling one of the special initialization functions. When you're done
with a variable, you need to clear it out, using one of the functions
for that purpose. A variable should only be initialized once, or at
least cleared out between each initialization. After a variable has
been initialized, it may be assigned to any number of times. For
efficiency reasons, avoid to initialize and clear out a variable in
loops. Instead, initialize it before entering the loop, and clear it
out after the loop has exited. You do not need to be concerned about
allocating additional space for MPFR variables, since any variable has
a significand of fixed size. Hence unless you change its precision, or
clear and reinitialize it, a floating-point variable will have the same
allocated space during all its life.
As a general rule, all MPFR functions expect output arguments before
input arguments. This notation is based on an analogy with the
assignment operator. MPFR allows you to use the same variable for both
input and output in the same expression. For example, the main
function for floating-point multiplication, `mpfr_mul', can be used
like this: `mpfr_mul (x, x, x, rnd)'. This computes the square of X
with rounding mode `rnd' and puts the result back in X.
4.4 Rounding Modes
==================
The following five rounding modes are supported:
* `MPFR_RNDN': round to nearest (roundTiesToEven in IEEE 754-2008),
* `MPFR_RNDZ': round toward zero (roundTowardZero in IEEE 754-2008),
* `MPFR_RNDU': round toward plus infinity (roundTowardPositive in
IEEE 754-2008),
* `MPFR_RNDD': round toward minus infinity (roundTowardNegative in
IEEE 754-2008),
* `MPFR_RNDA': round away from zero (experimental).
The `round to nearest' mode works as in the IEEE 754 standard: in
case the number to be rounded lies exactly in the middle of two
representable numbers, it is rounded to the one with the least
significant bit set to zero. For example, the number 2.5, which is
represented by (10.1) in binary, is rounded to (10.0)=2 with a
precision of two bits, and not to (11.0)=3. This rule avoids the
"drift" phenomenon mentioned by Knuth in volume 2 of The Art of
Computer Programming (Section 4.2.2).
Most MPFR functions take as first argument the destination variable,
as second and following arguments the input variables, as last argument
a rounding mode, and have a return value of type `int', called the
"ternary value". The value stored in the destination variable is
correctly rounded, i.e., MPFR behaves as if it computed the result with
an infinite precision, then rounded it to the precision of this
variable. The input variables are regarded as exact (in particular,
their precision does not affect the result).
As a consequence, in case of a non-zero real rounded result, the
error on the result is less or equal to 1/2 ulp (unit in the last
place) of that result in the rounding to nearest mode, and less than 1
ulp of that result in the directed rounding modes (a ulp is the weight
of the least significant represented bit of the result after rounding).
Unless documented otherwise, functions returning an `int' return a
ternary value. If the ternary value is zero, it means that the value
stored in the destination variable is the exact result of the
corresponding mathematical function. If the ternary value is positive
(resp. negative), it means the value stored in the destination variable
is greater (resp. lower) than the exact result. For example with the
`MPFR_RNDU' rounding mode, the ternary value is usually positive,
except when the result is exact, in which case it is zero. In the case
of an infinite result, it is considered as inexact when it was obtained
by overflow, and exact otherwise. A NaN result (Not-a-Number) always
corresponds to an exact return value. The opposite of a returned
ternary value is guaranteed to be representable in an `int'.
Unless documented otherwise, functions returning as result the value
`1' (or any other value specified in this manual) for special cases
(like `acos(0)') yield an overflow or an underflow if that value is not
representable in the current exponent range.
4.5 Floating-Point Values on Special Numbers
============================================
This section specifies the floating-point values (of type `mpfr_t')
returned by MPFR functions (where by "returned" we mean here the
modified value of the destination object, which should not be mixed
with the ternary return value of type `int' of those functions). For
functions returning several values (like `mpfr_sin_cos'), the rules
apply to each result separately.
Functions can have one or several input arguments. An input point is
a mapping from these input arguments to the set of the MPFR numbers.
When none of its components are NaN, an input point can also be seen as
a tuple in the extended real numbers (the set of the real numbers with
both infinities).
When the input point is in the domain of the mathematical function,
the result is rounded as described in Section "Rounding Modes" (but see
below for the specification of the sign of an exact zero). Otherwise
the general rules from this section apply unless stated otherwise in
the description of the MPFR function (*note MPFR Interface::).
When the input point is not in the domain of the mathematical
function but is in its closure in the extended real numbers and the
function can be extended by continuity, the result is the obtained
limit. Examples: `mpfr_hypot' on (+Inf,0) gives +Inf. But `mpfr_pow'
cannot be defined on (1,+Inf) using this rule, as one can find
sequences (X_N,Y_N) such that X_N goes to 1, Y_N goes to +Inf and X_N
to the Y_N goes to any positive value when N goes to the infinity.
When the input point is in the closure of the domain of the
mathematical function and an input argument is +0 (resp. -0), one
considers the limit when the corresponding argument approaches 0 from
above (resp. below). If the limit is not defined (e.g., `mpfr_log' on
-0), the behavior is specified in the description of the MPFR function.
When the result is equal to 0, its sign is determined by considering
the limit as if the input point were not in the domain: If one
approaches 0 from above (resp. below), the result is +0 (resp. -0); for
example, `mpfr_sin' on +0 gives +0. In the other cases, the sign is
specified in the description of the MPFR function; for example
`mpfr_max' on -0 and +0 gives +0.
When the input point is not in the closure of the domain of the
function, the result is NaN. Example: `mpfr_sqrt' on -17 gives NaN.
When an input argument is NaN, the result is NaN, possibly except
when a partial function is constant on the finite floating-point
numbers; such a case is always explicitly specified in *note MPFR
Interface::. Example: `mpfr_hypot' on (NaN,0) gives NaN, but
`mpfr_hypot' on (NaN,+Inf) gives +Inf (as specified in *note Special
Functions::), since for any finite input X, `mpfr_hypot' on (X,+Inf)
gives +Inf.
4.6 Exceptions
==============
MPFR supports 5 exception types:
* Underflow: An underflow occurs when the exact result of a function
is a non-zero real number and the result obtained after the
rounding, assuming an unbounded exponent range (for the rounding),
has an exponent smaller than the minimum value of the current
exponent range. (In the round-to-nearest mode, the halfway case is
rounded toward zero.)
Note: This is not the single possible definition of the underflow.
MPFR chooses to consider the underflow _after_ rounding. The
underflow before rounding can also be defined. For instance,
consider a function that has the exact result 7 multiplied by two
to the power E-4, where E is the smallest exponent (for a
significand between 1/2 and 1), with a 2-bit target precision and
rounding toward plus infinity. The exact result has the exponent
E-1. With the underflow before rounding, such a function call
would yield an underflow, as E-1 is outside the current exponent
range. However, MPFR first considers the rounded result assuming
an unbounded exponent range. The exact result cannot be
represented exactly in precision 2, and here, it is rounded to 0.5
times 2 to E, which is representable in the current exponent
range. As a consequence, this will not yield an underflow in MPFR.
* Overflow: An overflow occurs when the exact result of a function
is a non-zero real number and the result obtained after the
rounding, assuming an unbounded exponent range (for the rounding),
has an exponent larger than the maximum value of the current
exponent range. In the round-to-nearest mode, the result is
infinite. Note: unlike the underflow case, there is only one
possible definition of overflow here.
* NaN: A NaN exception occurs when the result of a function is NaN.
* Inexact: An inexact exception occurs when the result of a function
cannot be represented exactly and must be rounded.
* Range error: A range exception occurs when a function that does
not return a MPFR number (such as comparisons and conversions to
an integer) has an invalid result (e.g., an argument is NaN in
`mpfr_cmp', or a conversion to an integer cannot be represented in
the target type).
MPFR has a global flag for each exception, which can be cleared, set
or tested by functions described in *note Exception Related Functions::.
Differences with the ISO C99 standard:
* In C, only quiet NaNs are specified, and a NaN propagation does not
raise an invalid exception. Unless explicitly stated otherwise,
MPFR sets the NaN flag whenever a NaN is generated, even when a
NaN is propagated (e.g., in NaN + NaN), as if all NaNs were
signaling.
* An invalid exception in C corresponds to either a NaN exception or
a range error in MPFR.
4.7 Memory Handling
===================
MPFR functions may create caches, e.g., when computing constants such
as Pi, either because the user has called a function like
`mpfr_const_pi' directly or because such a function was called
internally by the MPFR library itself to compute some other function.
At any time, the user can free the various caches with
`mpfr_free_cache'. It is strongly advised to do that before terminating
a thread, or before exiting when using tools like `valgrind' (to avoid
memory leaks being reported).
MPFR internal data such as flags, the exponent range, the default
precision and rounding mode, and caches (i.e., data that are not
accessed via parameters) are either global (if MPFR has not been
compiled as thread safe) or per-thread (thread local storage).

5 MPFR Interface
****************
The floating-point functions expect arguments of type `mpfr_t'.
The MPFR floating-point functions have an interface that is similar
to the GNU MP functions. The function prefix for floating-point
operations is `mpfr_'.
The user has to specify the precision of each variable. A
computation that assigns a variable will take place with the precision
of the assigned variable; the cost of that computation should not
depend on the precision of variables used as input (on average).
The semantics of a calculation in MPFR is specified as follows:
Compute the requested operation exactly (with "infinite accuracy"), and
round the result to the precision of the destination variable, with the
given rounding mode. The MPFR floating-point functions are intended to
be a smooth extension of the IEEE 754 arithmetic. The results obtained
on a given computer are identical to those obtained on a computer with
a different word size, or with a different compiler or operating system.
MPFR _does not keep track_ of the accuracy of a computation. This is
left to the user or to a higher layer (for example the MPFI library for
interval arithmetic). As a consequence, if two variables are used to
store only a few significant bits, and their product is stored in a
variable with large precision, then MPFR will still compute the result
with full precision.
The value of the standard C macro `errno' may be set to non-zero by
any MPFR function or macro, whether or not there is an error.

5.1 Initialization Functions
============================
An `mpfr_t' object must be initialized before storing the first value in
it. The functions `mpfr_init' and `mpfr_init2' are used for that
purpose.
-- Function: void mpfr_init2 (mpfr_t X, mpfr_prec_t PREC)
Initialize X, set its precision to be *exactly* PREC bits and its
value to NaN. (Warning: the corresponding MPF function initializes
to zero instead.)
Normally, a variable should be initialized once only or at least
be cleared, using `mpfr_clear', between initializations. To
change the precision of a variable which has already been
initialized, use `mpfr_set_prec'. The precision PREC must be an
integer between `MPFR_PREC_MIN' and `MPFR_PREC_MAX' (otherwise the
behavior is undefined).
-- Function: void mpfr_inits2 (mpfr_prec_t PREC, mpfr_t X, ...)
Initialize all the `mpfr_t' variables of the given variable
argument `va_list', set their precision to be *exactly* PREC bits
and their value to NaN. See `mpfr_init2' for more details. The
`va_list' is assumed to be composed only of type `mpfr_t' (or
equivalently `mpfr_ptr'). It begins from X, and ends when it
encounters a null pointer (whose type must also be `mpfr_ptr').
-- Function: void mpfr_clear (mpfr_t X)
Free the space occupied by the significand of X. Make sure to
call this function for all `mpfr_t' variables when you are done
with them.
-- Function: void mpfr_clears (mpfr_t X, ...)
Free the space occupied by all the `mpfr_t' variables of the given
`va_list'. See `mpfr_clear' for more details. The `va_list' is
assumed to be composed only of type `mpfr_t' (or equivalently
`mpfr_ptr'). It begins from X, and ends when it encounters a null
pointer (whose type must also be `mpfr_ptr').
Here is an example of how to use multiple initialization functions
(since `NULL' is not necessarily defined in this context, we use
`(mpfr_ptr) 0' instead, but `(mpfr_ptr) NULL' is also correct).
{
mpfr_t x, y, z, t;
mpfr_inits2 (256, x, y, z, t, (mpfr_ptr) 0);
...
mpfr_clears (x, y, z, t, (mpfr_ptr) 0);
}
-- Function: void mpfr_init (mpfr_t X)
Initialize X, set its precision to the default precision, and set
its value to NaN. The default precision can be changed by a call
to `mpfr_set_default_prec'.
Warning! In a given program, some other libraries might change the
default precision and not restore it. Thus it is safer to use
`mpfr_init2'.
-- Function: void mpfr_inits (mpfr_t X, ...)
Initialize all the `mpfr_t' variables of the given `va_list', set
their precision to the default precision and their value to NaN.
See `mpfr_init' for more details. The `va_list' is assumed to be
composed only of type `mpfr_t' (or equivalently `mpfr_ptr'). It
begins from X, and ends when it encounters a null pointer (whose
type must also be `mpfr_ptr').
Warning! In a given program, some other libraries might change the
default precision and not restore it. Thus it is safer to use
`mpfr_inits2'.
-- Macro: MPFR_DECL_INIT (NAME, PREC)
This macro declares NAME as an automatic variable of type `mpfr_t',
initializes it and sets its precision to be *exactly* PREC bits
and its value to NaN. NAME must be a valid identifier. You must
use this macro in the declaration section. This macro is much
faster than using `mpfr_init2' but has some drawbacks:
* You *must not* call `mpfr_clear' with variables created with
this macro (the storage is allocated at the point of
declaration and deallocated when the brace-level is exited).
* You *cannot* change their precision.
* You *should not* create variables with huge precision with
this macro.
* Your compiler must support `Non-Constant Initializers'
(standard in C++ and ISO C99) and `Token Pasting' (standard
in ISO C89). If PREC is not a constant expression, your
compiler must support `variable-length automatic arrays'
(standard in ISO C99). GCC 2.95.3 and above supports all
these features. If you compile your program with GCC in C89
mode and with `-pedantic', you may want to define the
`MPFR_USE_EXTENSION' macro to avoid warnings due to the
`MPFR_DECL_INIT' implementation.
-- Function: void mpfr_set_default_prec (mpfr_prec_t PREC)
Set the default precision to be *exactly* PREC bits, where PREC
can be any integer between `MPFR_PREC_MIN' and `MPFR_PREC_MAX'.
The precision of a variable means the number of bits used to store
its significand. All subsequent calls to `mpfr_init' or
`mpfr_inits' will use this precision, but previously initialized
variables are unaffected. The default precision is set to 53 bits
initially.
-- Function: mpfr_prec_t mpfr_get_default_prec (void)
Return the current default MPFR precision in bits.
Here is an example on how to initialize floating-point variables:
{
mpfr_t x, y;
mpfr_init (x); /* use default precision */
mpfr_init2 (y, 256); /* precision _exactly_ 256 bits */
...
/* When the program is about to exit, do ... */
mpfr_clear (x);
mpfr_clear (y);
mpfr_free_cache (); /* free the cache for constants like pi */
}
The following functions are useful for changing the precision during
a calculation. A typical use would be for adjusting the precision
gradually in iterative algorithms like Newton-Raphson, making the
computation precision closely match the actual accurate part of the
numbers.
-- Function: void mpfr_set_prec (mpfr_t X, mpfr_prec_t PREC)
Reset the precision of X to be *exactly* PREC bits, and set its
value to NaN. The previous value stored in X is lost. It is
equivalent to a call to `mpfr_clear(x)' followed by a call to
`mpfr_init2(x, prec)', but more efficient as no allocation is done
in case the current allocated space for the significand of X is
enough. The precision PREC can be any integer between
`MPFR_PREC_MIN' and `MPFR_PREC_MAX'. In case you want to keep the
previous value stored in X, use `mpfr_prec_round' instead.
-- Function: mpfr_prec_t mpfr_get_prec (mpfr_t X)
Return the precision of X, i.e., the number of bits used to store
its significand.

5.2 Assignment Functions
========================
These functions assign new values to already initialized floats (*note
Initialization Functions::).
-- Function: int mpfr_set (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_ui (mpfr_t ROP, unsigned long int OP,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_si (mpfr_t ROP, long int OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_uj (mpfr_t ROP, uintmax_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_sj (mpfr_t ROP, intmax_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_flt (mpfr_t ROP, float OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_d (mpfr_t ROP, double OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_ld (mpfr_t ROP, long double OP, mpfr_rnd_t
RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_decimal64 (mpfr_t ROP, _Decimal64 OP,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_z (mpfr_t ROP, mpz_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_q (mpfr_t ROP, mpq_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_f (mpfr_t ROP, mpf_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set the value of ROP from OP, rounded toward the given direction
RND. Note that the input 0 is converted to +0 by `mpfr_set_ui',
`mpfr_set_si', `mpfr_set_uj', `mpfr_set_sj', `mpfr_set_z',
`mpfr_set_q' and `mpfr_set_f', regardless of the rounding mode.
If the system does not support the IEEE 754 standard,
`mpfr_set_flt', `mpfr_set_d', `mpfr_set_ld' and
`mpfr_set_decimal64' might not preserve the signed zeros. The
`mpfr_set_decimal64' function is built only with the configure
option `--enable-decimal-float', which also requires
`--with-gmp-build', and when the compiler or system provides the
`_Decimal64' data type (recent versions of GCC support this data
type). `mpfr_set_q' might fail if the numerator (or the
denominator) can not be represented as a `mpfr_t'.
Note: If you want to store a floating-point constant to a `mpfr_t',
you should use `mpfr_set_str' (or one of the MPFR constant
functions, such as `mpfr_const_pi' for Pi) instead of
`mpfr_set_flt', `mpfr_set_d', `mpfr_set_ld' or
`mpfr_set_decimal64'. Otherwise the floating-point constant will
be first converted into a reduced-precision (e.g., 53-bit) binary
number before MPFR can work with it.
-- Function: int mpfr_set_ui_2exp (mpfr_t ROP, unsigned long int OP,
mpfr_exp_t E, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_si_2exp (mpfr_t ROP, long int OP, mpfr_exp_t
E, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_uj_2exp (mpfr_t ROP, uintmax_t OP, intmax_t
E, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_sj_2exp (mpfr_t ROP, intmax_t OP, intmax_t
E, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_z_2exp (mpfr_t ROP, mpz_t OP, mpfr_exp_t E,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set the value of ROP from OP multiplied by two to the power E,
rounded toward the given direction RND. Note that the input 0 is
converted to +0.
-- Function: int mpfr_set_str (mpfr_t ROP, const char *S, int BASE,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set ROP to the value of the string S in base BASE, rounded in the
direction RND. See the documentation of `mpfr_strtofr' for a
detailed description of the valid string formats. Contrary to
`mpfr_strtofr', `mpfr_set_str' requires the _whole_ string to
represent a valid floating-point number. This function returns 0
if the entire string up to the final null character is a valid
number in base BASE; otherwise it returns -1, and ROP may have
changed. Note: it is preferable to use `mpfr_set_str' if one
wants to distinguish between an infinite ROP value coming from an
infinite S or from an overflow.
-- Function: int mpfr_strtofr (mpfr_t ROP, const char *NPTR, char
**ENDPTR, int BASE, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Read a floating-point number from a string NPTR in base BASE,
rounded in the direction RND; BASE must be either 0 (to detect the
base, as described below) or a number from 2 to 62 (otherwise the
behavior is undefined). If NPTR starts with valid data, the result
is stored in ROP and `*ENDPTR' points to the character just after
the valid data (if ENDPTR is not a null pointer); otherwise ROP is
set to zero (for consistency with `strtod') and the value of NPTR
is stored in the location referenced by ENDPTR (if ENDPTR is not a
null pointer). The usual ternary value is returned.
Parsing follows the standard C `strtod' function with some
extensions. After optional leading whitespace, one has a subject
sequence consisting of an optional sign (`+' or `-'), and either
numeric data or special data. The subject sequence is defined as
the longest initial subsequence of the input string, starting with
the first non-whitespace character, that is of the expected form.
The form of numeric data is a non-empty sequence of significand
digits with an optional decimal point, and an optional exponent
consisting of an exponent prefix followed by an optional sign and
a non-empty sequence of decimal digits. A significand digit is
either a decimal digit or a Latin letter (62 possible characters),
with `A' = 10, `B' = 11, ..., `Z' = 35; case is ignored in bases
less or equal to 36, in bases larger than 36, `a' = 36, `b' = 37,
..., `z' = 61. The value of a significand digit must be strictly
less than the base. The decimal point can be either the one
defined by the current locale or the period (the first one is
accepted for consistency with the C standard and the practice, the
second one is accepted to allow the programmer to provide MPFR
numbers from strings in a way that does not depend on the current
locale). The exponent prefix can be `e' or `E' for bases up to
10, or `@' in any base; it indicates a multiplication by a power
of the base. In bases 2 and 16, the exponent prefix can also be
`p' or `P', in which case the exponent, called _binary exponent_,
indicates a multiplication by a power of 2 instead of the base
(there is a difference only for base 16); in base 16 for example
`1p2' represents 4 whereas `1@2' represents 256. The value of an
exponent is always written in base 10.
If the argument BASE is 0, then the base is automatically detected
as follows. If the significand starts with `0b' or `0B', base 2 is
assumed. If the significand starts with `0x' or `0X', base 16 is
assumed. Otherwise base 10 is assumed.
Note: The exponent (if present) must contain at least a digit.
Otherwise the possible exponent prefix and sign are not part of
the number (which ends with the significand). Similarly, if `0b',
`0B', `0x' or `0X' is not followed by a binary/hexadecimal digit,
then the subject sequence stops at the character `0', thus 0 is
read.
Special data (for infinities and NaN) can be `@inf@' or
`@nan@(n-char-sequence-opt)', and if BASE <= 16, it can also be
`infinity', `inf', `nan' or `nan(n-char-sequence-opt)', all case
insensitive. A `n-char-sequence-opt' is a possibly empty string
containing only digits, Latin letters and the underscore (0, 1, 2,
..., 9, a, b, ..., z, A, B, ..., Z, _). Note: one has an optional
sign for all data, even NaN. For example,
`-@nAn@(This_Is_Not_17)' is a valid representation for NaN in base
17.
-- Function: void mpfr_set_nan (mpfr_t X)
-- Function: void mpfr_set_inf (mpfr_t X, int SIGN)
-- Function: void mpfr_set_zero (mpfr_t X, int SIGN)
Set the variable X to NaN (Not-a-Number), infinity or zero
respectively. In `mpfr_set_inf' or `mpfr_set_zero', X is set to
plus infinity or plus zero iff SIGN is nonnegative; in
`mpfr_set_nan', the sign bit of the result is unspecified.
-- Function: void mpfr_swap (mpfr_t X, mpfr_t Y)
Swap the values X and Y efficiently. Warning: the precisions are
exchanged too; in case the precisions are different, `mpfr_swap'
is thus not equivalent to three `mpfr_set' calls using a third
auxiliary variable.

5.4 Conversion Functions
========================
-- Function: float mpfr_get_flt (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: double mpfr_get_d (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: long double mpfr_get_ld (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: _Decimal64 mpfr_get_decimal64 (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Convert OP to a `float' (respectively `double', `long double' or
`_Decimal64'), using the rounding mode RND. If OP is NaN, some
fixed NaN (either quiet or signaling) or the result of 0.0/0.0 is
returned. If OP is ±Inf, an infinity of the same sign or the
result of ±1.0/0.0 is returned. If OP is zero, these functions
return a zero, trying to preserve its sign, if possible. The
`mpfr_get_decimal64' function is built only under some conditions:
see the documentation of `mpfr_set_decimal64'.
-- Function: long mpfr_get_si (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: unsigned long mpfr_get_ui (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: intmax_t mpfr_get_sj (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: uintmax_t mpfr_get_uj (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Convert OP to a `long', an `unsigned long', an `intmax_t' or an
`uintmax_t' (respectively) after rounding it with respect to RND.
If OP is NaN, 0 is returned and the _erange_ flag is set. If OP
is too big for the return type, the function returns the maximum
or the minimum of the corresponding C type, depending on the
direction of the overflow; the _erange_ flag is set too. See also
`mpfr_fits_slong_p', `mpfr_fits_ulong_p', `mpfr_fits_intmax_p' and
`mpfr_fits_uintmax_p'.
-- Function: double mpfr_get_d_2exp (long *EXP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t
RND)
-- Function: long double mpfr_get_ld_2exp (long *EXP, mpfr_t OP,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Return D and set EXP (formally, the value pointed to by EXP) such
that 0.5<=abs(D)<1 and D times 2 raised to EXP equals OP rounded
to double (resp. long double) precision, using the given rounding
mode. If OP is zero, then a zero of the same sign (or an unsigned
zero, if the implementation does not have signed zeros) is
returned, and EXP is set to 0. If OP is NaN or an infinity, then
the corresponding double precision (resp. long-double precision)
value is returned, and EXP is undefined.
-- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_z_2exp (mpz_t ROP, mpfr_t OP)
Put the scaled significand of OP (regarded as an integer, with the
precision of OP) into ROP, and return the exponent EXP (which may
be outside the current exponent range) such that OP exactly equals
ROP times 2 raised to the power EXP. If OP is zero, the minimal
exponent `emin' is returned. If OP is NaN or an infinity, the
_erange_ flag is set, ROP is set to 0, and the the minimal
exponent `emin' is returned. The returned exponent may be less
than the minimal exponent `emin' of MPFR numbers in the current
exponent range; in case the exponent is not representable in the
`mpfr_exp_t' type, the _erange_ flag is set and the minimal value
of the `mpfr_exp_t' type is returned.
-- Function: int mpfr_get_z (mpz_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Convert OP to a `mpz_t', after rounding it with respect to RND. If
OP is NaN or an infinity, the _erange_ flag is set, ROP is set to
0, and 0 is returned.
-- Function: int mpfr_get_f (mpf_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Convert OP to a `mpf_t', after rounding it with respect to RND.
The _erange_ flag is set if OP is NaN or Inf, which do not exist in
MPF.
-- Function: char * mpfr_get_str (char *STR, mpfr_exp_t *EXPPTR, int
B, size_t N, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Convert OP to a string of digits in base B, with rounding in the
direction RND, where N is either zero (see below) or the number of
significant digits output in the string; in the latter case, N
must be greater or equal to 2. The base may vary from 2 to 62. If
the input number is an ordinary number, the exponent is written
through the pointer EXPPTR (for input 0, the current minimal
exponent is written).
The generated string is a fraction, with an implicit radix point
immediately to the left of the first digit. For example, the
number -3.1416 would be returned as "-31416" in the string and 1
written at EXPPTR. If RND is to nearest, and OP is exactly in the
middle of two consecutive possible outputs, the one with an even
significand is chosen, where both significands are considered with
the exponent of OP. Note that for an odd base, this may not
correspond to an even last digit: for example with 2 digits in
base 7, (14) and a half is rounded to (15) which is 12 in decimal,
(16) and a half is rounded to (20) which is 14 in decimal, and
(26) and a half is rounded to (26) which is 20 in decimal.
If N is zero, the number of digits of the significand is chosen
large enough so that re-reading the printed value with the same
precision, assuming both output and input use rounding to nearest,
will recover the original value of OP. More precisely, in most
cases, the chosen precision of STR is the minimal precision m
depending only on P = PREC(OP) and B that satisfies the above
property, i.e., m = 1 + ceil(P*log(2)/log(B)), with P replaced by
P-1 if B is a power of 2, but in some very rare cases, it might be
m+1 (the smallest case for bases up to 62 is when P equals
186564318007 for bases 7 and 49).
If STR is a null pointer, space for the significand is allocated
using the current allocation function, and a pointer to the string
is returned. To free the returned string, you must use
`mpfr_free_str'.
If STR is not a null pointer, it should point to a block of storage
large enough for the significand, i.e., at least `max(N + 2, 7)'.
The extra two bytes are for a possible minus sign, and for the
terminating null character, and the value 7 accounts for `-@Inf@'
plus the terminating null character.
A pointer to the string is returned, unless there is an error, in
which case a null pointer is returned.
-- Function: void mpfr_free_str (char *STR)
Free a string allocated by `mpfr_get_str' using the current
unallocation function. The block is assumed to be `strlen(STR)+1'
bytes. For more information about how it is done: *note Custom

`unsigned short', `short', `uintmax_t', `intmax_t', when rounded
to an integer in the direction RND.

Set ROP to OP1 + OP2 rounded in the direction RND. For types
having no signed zero, it is considered unsigned (i.e., (+0) + 0 =
(+0) and (-0) + 0 = (-0)). The `mpfr_add_d' function assumes that
the radix of the `double' type is a power of 2, with a precision
at most that declared by the C implementation (macro

5.6 Comparison Functions
========================
-- Function: int mpfr_cmp (mpfr_t OP1, mpfr_t OP2)
-- Function: int mpfr_cmp_ui (mpfr_t OP1, unsigned long int OP2)
-- Function: int mpfr_cmp_si (mpfr_t OP1, long int OP2)
-- Function: int mpfr_cmp_d (mpfr_t OP1, double OP2)
-- Function: int mpfr_cmp_ld (mpfr_t OP1, long double OP2)
-- Function: int mpfr_cmp_z (mpfr_t OP1, mpz_t OP2)
-- Function: int mpfr_cmp_q (mpfr_t OP1, mpq_t OP2)
-- Function: int mpfr_cmp_f (mpfr_t OP1, mpf_t OP2)
Compare OP1 and OP2. Return a positive value if OP1 > OP2, zero
if OP1 = OP2, and a negative value if OP1 < OP2. Both OP1 and OP2
are considered to their full own precision, which may differ. If
one of the operands is NaN, set the _erange_ flag and return zero.
Note: These functions may be useful to distinguish the three
possible cases. If you need to distinguish two cases only, it is
recommended to use the predicate functions (e.g., `mpfr_equal_p'
for the equality) described below; they behave like the IEEE 754
comparisons, in particular when one or both arguments are NaN. But
only floating-point numbers can be compared (you may need to do a
conversion first).
-- Function: int mpfr_cmp_ui_2exp (mpfr_t OP1, unsigned long int OP2,
mpfr_exp_t E)
-- Function: int mpfr_cmp_si_2exp (mpfr_t OP1, long int OP2,

Compare OP1 and OP2 multiplied by two to the power E. Similar as
above.

Compare |OP1| and |OP2|. Return a positive value if |OP1| >
|OP2|, zero if |OP1| = |OP2|, and a negative value if |OP1| <
|OP2|. If one of the operands is NaN, set the _erange_ flag and
return zero.

number (i.e., neither NaN, nor an infinity nor zero). Return zero
otherwise.
-- Macro: int mpfr_sgn (mpfr_t OP)
Return a positive value if OP > 0, zero if OP = 0, and a negative
value if OP < 0. If the operand is NaN, set the _erange_ flag and

more efficient.

return zero whenever OP1 and/or OP2 is NaN.

OP2 is NaN, and OP1 <> OP2), zero otherwise (i.e., OP1 and/or OP2
is NaN, or OP1 = OP2).
-- Function: int mpfr_unordered_p (mpfr_t OP1, mpfr_t OP2)
Return non-zero if OP1 or OP2 is a NaN (i.e., they cannot be
compared), zero otherwise.

5.7 Special Functions
=====================
All those functions, except explicitly stated (for example
`mpfr_sin_cos'), return a ternary value as defined in Section "Rounding
Modes", i.e., zero for an exact return value, a positive value for a
return value larger than the exact result, and a negative value
otherwise.
Important note: in some domains, computing special functions (either
with correct or incorrect rounding) is expensive, even for small
precision, for example the trigonometric and Bessel functions for large
argument.
-- Function: int mpfr_log (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_log2 (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_log10 (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set ROP to the natural logarithm of OP, log2(OP) or log10(OP),
respectively, rounded in the direction RND. Set ROP to -Inf if OP
is -0 (i.e., the sign of the zero has no influence on the result).
-- Function: int mpfr_exp (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_exp2 (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_exp10 (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)

of OP, respectively, rounded in the direction RND.

-- Function: int mpfr_sin (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)

the direction RND.
-- Function: int mpfr_sin_cos (mpfr_t SOP, mpfr_t COP, mpfr_t OP,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set simultaneously SOP to the sine of OP and COP to the cosine of
OP, rounded in the direction RND with the corresponding precisions
of SOP and COP, which must be different variables. Return 0 iff
both results are exact, more precisely it returns s+4c where s=0
if SOP is exact, s=1 if SOP is larger than the sine of OP, s=2 if
SOP is smaller than the sine of OP, and similarly for c and the
cosine of OP.
-- Function: int mpfr_sec (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_csc (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)

-- Function: int mpfr_atan (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set ROP to the arc-cosine, arc-sine or arc-tangent of OP, rounded
in the direction RND. Note that since `acos(-1)' returns the
floating-point number closest to Pi according to the given
rounding mode, this number might not be in the output range 0 <=
ROP < \pi of the arc-cosine function; still, the result lies in
the image of the output range by the rounding function. The same
holds for `asin(-1)', `asin(1)', `atan(-Inf)', `atan(+Inf)' or for
`atan(op)' with large OP and small precision of ROP.
-- Function: int mpfr_atan2 (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t Y, mpfr_t X,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set ROP to the arc-tangent2 of Y and X, rounded in the direction
RND: if `x > 0', `atan2(y, x) = atan (y/x)'; if `x < 0', `atan2(y,
x) = sign(y)*(Pi - atan (abs(y/x)))', thus a number from -Pi to Pi.
As for `atan', in case the exact mathematical result is +Pi or -Pi,
its rounded result might be outside the function output range.
`atan2(y, 0)' does not raise any floating-point exception.
Special values are handled as described in the ISO C99 and IEEE
754-2008 standards for the `atan2' function:
* `atan2(+0, -0)' returns +Pi.
* `atan2(-0, -0)' returns -Pi.
* `atan2(+0, +0)' returns +0.

* `atan2(+0, x)' returns +Pi for x < 0.
* `atan2(-0, x)' returns -Pi for x < 0.
* `atan2(+0, x)' returns +0 for x > 0.
* `atan2(-0, x)' returns -0 for x > 0.
* `atan2(y, 0)' returns -Pi/2 for y < 0.
* `atan2(y, 0)' returns +Pi/2 for y > 0.
* `atan2(+Inf, -Inf)' returns +3*Pi/4.
* `atan2(-Inf, -Inf)' returns -3*Pi/4.
* `atan2(+Inf, +Inf)' returns +Pi/4.
* `atan2(-Inf, +Inf)' returns -Pi/4.
* `atan2(+Inf, x)' returns +Pi/2 for finite x.
* `atan2(-Inf, x)' returns -Pi/2 for finite x.
* `atan2(y, -Inf)' returns +Pi for finite y > 0.
* `atan2(y, -Inf)' returns -Pi for finite y < 0.
* `atan2(y, +Inf)' returns +0 for finite y > 0.

value).

typically smaller than 500. For larger arguments, other methods
should be used and will be implemented in a future version.
-- Function: int mpfr_const_log2 (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_const_pi (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_const_euler (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_const_catalan (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set ROP to the logarithm of 2, the value of Pi, of Euler's
constant 0.577..., of Catalan's constant 0.915..., respectively,
rounded in the direction RND. These functions cache the computed
values to avoid other calculations if a lower or equal precision
is requested. To free these caches, use `mpfr_free_cache'.
-- Function: void mpfr_free_cache (void)
Free various caches used by MPFR internally, in particular the
caches used by the functions computing constants
(`mpfr_const_log2', `mpfr_const_pi', `mpfr_const_euler' and
`mpfr_const_catalan'). You should call this function before
terminating a thread, even if you did not call these functions
directly (they could have been called internally).
-- Function: int mpfr_sum (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_ptr const TAB[], unsigned
long int N, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set ROP to the sum of all elements of TAB, whose size is N,
rounded in the direction RND. Warning: for efficiency reasons, TAB
is an array of pointers to `mpfr_t', not an array of `mpfr_t'. If
the returned `int' value is zero, ROP is guaranteed to be the
exact sum; otherwise ROP might be smaller than, equal to, or
larger than the exact sum (in accordance to the rounding mode).
However, `mpfr_sum' does guarantee the result is correctly rounded.

5.8 Input and Output Functions
==============================
This section describes functions that perform input from an input/output
stream, and functions that output to an input/output stream. Passing a
null pointer for a `stream' to any of these functions will make them
read from `stdin' and write to `stdout', respectively.
When using any of these functions, you must include the `<stdio.h>'
standard header before `mpfr.h', to allow `mpfr.h' to define prototypes
for these functions.
-- Function: size_t mpfr_out_str (FILE *STREAM, int BASE, size_t N,
mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Output OP on stream STREAM, as a string of digits in base BASE,
rounded in the direction RND. The base may vary from 2 to 62.
Print N significant digits exactly, or if N is 0, enough digits so
that OP can be read back exactly (see `mpfr_get_str').
In addition to the significant digits, a decimal point (defined by
the current locale) at the right of the first digit and a trailing
exponent in base 10, in the form `eNNN', are printed. If BASE is
greater than 10, `@' will be used instead of `e' as exponent
delimiter.
Return the number of characters written, or if an error occurred,
return 0.
-- Function: size_t mpfr_inp_str (mpfr_t ROP, FILE *STREAM, int BASE,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Input a string in base BASE from stream STREAM, rounded in the
direction RND, and put the read float in ROP.
This function reads a word (defined as a sequence of characters
between whitespace) and parses it using `mpfr_set_str'. See the
documentation of `mpfr_strtofr' for a detailed description of the
valid string formats.
Return the number of bytes read, or if an error occurred, return 0.

5.9 Formatted Output Functions
==============================
5.9.1 Requirements
------------------
The class of `mpfr_printf' functions provides formatted output in a
similar manner as the standard C `printf'. These functions are defined
only if your system supports ISO C variadic functions and the
corresponding argument access macros.
When using any of these functions, you must include the `<stdio.h>'
standard header before `mpfr.h', to allow `mpfr.h' to define prototypes
for these functions.
5.9.2 Format String
-------------------
The format specification accepted by `mpfr_printf' is an extension of
the `printf' one. The conversion specification is of the form:
% [flags] [width] [.[precision]] [type] [rounding] conv
`flags', `width', and `precision' have the same meaning as for the
standard `printf' (in particular, notice that the `precision' is
related to the number of digits displayed in the base chosen by `conv'
and not related to the internal precision of the `mpfr_t' variable).
`mpfr_printf' accepts the same `type' specifiers as GMP (except the
non-standard and deprecated `q', use `ll' instead), namely the length
modifiers defined in the C standard:
`h' `short'
`hh' `char'
`j' `intmax_t' or `uintmax_t'
`l' `long' or `wchar_t'
`ll' `long long'
`L' `long double'
`t' `ptrdiff_t'
`z' `size_t'
and the `type' specifiers defined in GMP plus `R' and `P' specific
to MPFR (the second column in the table below shows the type of the
argument read in the argument list and the kind of `conv' specifier to
use after the `type' specifier):
`F' `mpf_t', float conversions
`Q' `mpq_t', integer conversions
`M' `mp_limb_t', integer conversions
`N' `mp_limb_t' array, integer conversions
`Z' `mpz_t', integer conversions
`P' `mpfr_prec_t', integer conversions
`R' `mpfr_t', float conversions
The `type' specifiers have the same restrictions as those mentioned
in the GMP documentation: *note Formatted Output Strings:
(gmp.info)Formatted Output Strings. In particular, the `type'
specifiers (except `R' and `P') are supported only if they are
supported by `gmp_printf' in your GMP build; this implies that the
standard specifiers, such as `t', must _also_ be supported by your C
library if you want to use them.
The `rounding' field is specific to `mpfr_t' arguments and should
not be used with other types.
With conversion specification not involving `P' and `R' types,
`mpfr_printf' behaves exactly as `gmp_printf'.
The `P' type specifies that a following `o', `u', `x', or `X'
conversion specifier applies to a `mpfr_prec_t' argument. It is needed
because the `mpfr_prec_t' type does not necessarily correspond to an
`unsigned int' or any fixed standard type. The `precision' field
specifies the minimum number of digits to appear. The default
`precision' is 1. For example:
mpfr_t x;
mpfr_prec_t p;
mpfr_init (x);
...
p = mpfr_get_prec (x);
mpfr_printf ("variable x with %Pu bits", p);
The `R' type specifies that a following `a', `A', `b', `e', `E',
`f', `F', `g', `G', or `n' conversion specifier applies to a `mpfr_t'
argument. The `R' type can be followed by a `rounding' specifier
denoted by one of the following characters:
`U' round toward plus infinity
`D' round toward minus infinity
`Y' round away from zero
`Z' round toward zero
`N' round to nearest
`*' rounding mode indicated by the
`mpfr_rnd_t' argument just before the
corresponding `mpfr_t' variable.
The default rounding mode is rounding to nearest. The following
three examples are equivalent:
mpfr_t x;
mpfr_init (x);
...
mpfr_printf ("%.128Rf", x);
mpfr_printf ("%.128RNf", x);
mpfr_printf ("%.128R*f", MPFR_RNDN, x);
Note that the rounding away from zero mode is specified with `Y'
because ISO C reserves the `A' specifier for hexadecimal output (see
below).
The output `conv' specifiers allowed with `mpfr_t' parameter are:
`a' `A' hex float, C99 style
`b' binary output
`e' `E' scientific format float
`f' `F' fixed point float
`g' `G' fixed or scientific float
The conversion specifier `b' which displays the argument in binary is
specific to `mpfr_t' arguments and should not be used with other types.
Other conversion specifiers have the same meaning as for a `double'
argument.
In case of non-decimal output, only the significand is written in the
specified base, the exponent is always displayed in decimal. Special
values are always displayed as `nan', `-inf', and `inf' for `a', `b',
`e', `f', and `g' specifiers and `NAN', `-INF', and `INF' for `A', `E',
`F', and `G' specifiers.
If the `precision' field is not empty, the `mpfr_t' number is
rounded to the given precision in the direction specified by the
rounding mode. If the precision is zero with rounding to nearest mode
and one of the following `conv' specifiers: `a', `A', `b', `e', `E',
tie case is rounded to even when it lies between two consecutive values
at the wanted precision which have the same exponent, otherwise, it is
rounded away from zero. For instance, 85 is displayed as "8e+1" and 95
is displayed as "1e+2" with the format specification `"%.0RNe"'. This
also applies when the `g' (resp. `G') conversion specifier uses the `e'
(resp. `E') style. If the precision is set to a value greater than the
maximum value for an `int', it will be silently reduced down to
`INT_MAX'.
If the `precision' field is empty (as in `%Re' or `%.RE') with
`conv' specifier `e' and `E', the number is displayed with enough
digits so that it can be read back exactly, assuming that the input and
output variables have the same precision and that the input and output
rounding modes are both rounding to nearest (as for `mpfr_get_str').
The default precision for an empty `precision' field with `conv'
specifiers `f', `F', `g', and `G' is 6.
5.9.3 Functions
---------------
For all the following functions, if the number of characters which
ought to be written appears to exceed the maximum limit for an `int',
nothing is written in the stream (resp. to `stdout', to BUF, to STR),
the function returns -1, sets the _erange_ flag, and (in POSIX system
only) `errno' is set to `EOVERFLOW'.
-- Function: int mpfr_fprintf (FILE *STREAM, const char *TEMPLATE, ...)
-- Function: int mpfr_vfprintf (FILE *STREAM, const char *TEMPLATE,
va_list AP)
Print to the stream STREAM the optional arguments under the
control of the template string TEMPLATE. Return the number of
characters written or a negative value if an error occurred.
-- Function: int mpfr_printf (const char *TEMPLATE, ...)
-- Function: int mpfr_vprintf (const char *TEMPLATE, va_list AP)
Print to `stdout' the optional arguments under the control of the
template string TEMPLATE. Return the number of characters written
or a negative value if an error occurred.
-- Function: int mpfr_sprintf (char *BUF, const char *TEMPLATE, ...)
-- Function: int mpfr_vsprintf (char *BUF, const char *TEMPLATE,
va_list AP)
Form a null-terminated string corresponding to the optional
arguments under the control of the template string TEMPLATE, and
print it in BUF. No overlap is permitted between BUF and the other
arguments. Return the number of characters written in the array
BUF _not counting_ the terminating null character or a negative
value if an error occurred.
-- Function: int mpfr_snprintf (char *BUF, size_t N, const char
*TEMPLATE, ...)
-- Function: int mpfr_vsnprintf (char *BUF, size_t N, const char
*TEMPLATE, va_list AP)
Form a null-terminated string corresponding to the optional
arguments under the control of the template string TEMPLATE, and
print it in BUF. If N is zero, nothing is written and BUF may be a
null pointer, otherwise, the N-1 first characters are written in
BUF and the N-th is a null character. Return the number of
characters that would have been written had N be sufficiently
large, _not counting_ the terminating null character, or a
negative value if an error occurred.
-- Function: int mpfr_asprintf (char **STR, const char *TEMPLATE, ...)
-- Function: int mpfr_vasprintf (char **STR, const char *TEMPLATE,
va_list AP)
Write their output as a null terminated string in a block of
memory allocated using the current allocation function. A pointer
to the block is stored in STR. The block of memory must be freed
using `mpfr_free_str'. The return value is the number of
characters written in the string, excluding the null-terminator,
or a negative value if an error occurred.

5.10 Integer and Remainder Related Functions
============================================
-- Function: int mpfr_rint (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_ceil (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP)
-- Function: int mpfr_floor (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP)
-- Function: int mpfr_round (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP)
-- Function: int mpfr_trunc (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP)
Set ROP to OP rounded to an integer. `mpfr_rint' rounds to the
nearest representable integer in the given direction RND,
`mpfr_ceil' rounds to the next higher or equal representable
integer, `mpfr_floor' to the next lower or equal representable
integer, `mpfr_round' to the nearest representable integer,
rounding halfway cases away from zero (as in the roundTiesToAway
mode of IEEE 754-2008), and `mpfr_trunc' to the next representable
integer toward zero.
The returned value is zero when the result is exact, positive when
it is greater than the original value of OP, and negative when it
is smaller. More precisely, the returned value is 0 when OP is an
integer representable in ROP, 1 or -1 when OP is an integer that
is not representable in ROP, 2 or -2 when OP is not an integer.
Note that `mpfr_round' is different from `mpfr_rint' called with
the rounding to nearest mode (where halfway cases are rounded to
an even integer or significand). Note also that no double rounding
is performed; for instance, 10.5 (1010.1 in binary) is rounded by
`mpfr_rint' with rounding to nearest to 12 (1100 in binary) in
2-bit precision, because the two enclosing numbers representable
on two bits are 8 and 12, and the closest is 12. (If one first
rounded to an integer, one would round 10.5 to 10 with even
rounding, and then 10 would be rounded to 8 again with even
rounding.)
-- Function: int mpfr_rint_ceil (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_rint_floor (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t
RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_rint_round (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t
RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_rint_trunc (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t
RND)
Set ROP to OP rounded to an integer. `mpfr_rint_ceil' rounds to
the next higher or equal integer, `mpfr_rint_floor' to the next
lower or equal integer, `mpfr_rint_round' to the nearest integer,
rounding halfway cases away from zero, and `mpfr_rint_trunc' to
the next integer toward zero. If the result is not representable,
it is rounded in the direction RND. The returned value is the
ternary value associated with the considered round-to-integer
function (regarded in the same way as any other mathematical
function). Contrary to `mpfr_rint', those functions do perform a
double rounding: first OP is rounded to the nearest integer in the
direction given by the function name, then this nearest integer
(if not representable) is rounded in the given direction RND. For
example, `mpfr_rint_round' with rounding to nearest and a precision
of two bits rounds 6.5 to 7 (halfway cases away from zero), then 7
is rounded to 8 by the round-even rule, despite the fact that 6 is
also representable on two bits, and is closer to 6.5 than 8.
-- Function: int mpfr_frac (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set ROP to the fractional part of OP, having the same sign as OP,
rounded in the direction RND (unlike in `mpfr_rint', RND affects
only how the exact fractional part is rounded, not how the
fractional part is generated).
-- Function: int mpfr_modf (mpfr_t IOP, mpfr_t FOP, mpfr_t OP,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set simultaneously IOP to the integral part of OP and FOP to the
fractional part of OP, rounded in the direction RND with the
corresponding precision of IOP and FOP (equivalent to
`mpfr_trunc(IOP, OP, RND)' and `mpfr_frac(FOP, OP, RND)'). The
variables IOP and FOP must be different. Return 0 iff both results
are exact (see `mpfr_sin_cos' for a more detailed description of
the return value).
-- Function: int mpfr_fmod (mpfr_t R, mpfr_t X, mpfr_t Y, mpfr_rnd_t
RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_remainder (mpfr_t R, mpfr_t X, mpfr_t Y,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_remquo (mpfr_t R, long* Q, mpfr_t X, mpfr_t Y,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set R to the value of X - NY, rounded according to the direction
RND, where N is the integer quotient of X divided by Y, defined as
follows: N is rounded toward zero for `mpfr_fmod', and to the
nearest integer (ties rounded to even) for `mpfr_remainder' and
`mpfr_remquo'.
Special values are handled as described in Section F.9.7.1 of the
ISO C99 standard: If X is infinite or Y is zero, R is NaN. If Y
is infinite and X is finite, R is X rounded to the precision of R.
If R is zero, it has the sign of X. The return value is the
ternary value corresponding to R.
Additionally, `mpfr_remquo' stores the low significant bits from
the quotient N in *Q (more precisely the number of bits in a
`long' minus one), with the sign of X divided by Y (except if
those low bits are all zero, in which case zero is returned).
Note that X may be so large in magnitude relative to Y that an
exact representation of the quotient is not practical. The
`mpfr_remainder' and `mpfr_remquo' functions are useful for
additive argument reduction.
-- Function: int mpfr_integer_p (mpfr_t OP)
Return non-zero iff OP is an integer.

5.11 Rounding Related Functions
===============================
-- Function: void mpfr_set_default_rounding_mode (mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set the default rounding mode to RND. The default rounding mode
is to nearest initially.
-- Function: mpfr_rnd_t mpfr_get_default_rounding_mode (void)
Get the default rounding mode.
-- Function: int mpfr_prec_round (mpfr_t X, mpfr_prec_t PREC,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Round X according to RND with precision PREC, which must be an
integer between `MPFR_PREC_MIN' and `MPFR_PREC_MAX' (otherwise the
behavior is undefined). If PREC is greater or equal to the
precision of X, then new space is allocated for the significand,
and it is filled with zeros. Otherwise, the significand is
rounded to precision PREC with the given direction. In both cases,
the precision of X is changed to PREC.
Here is an example of how to use `mpfr_prec_round' to implement
Newton's algorithm to compute the inverse of A, assuming X is
already an approximation to N bits:
mpfr_set_prec (t, 2 * n);
mpfr_set (t, a, MPFR_RNDN); /* round a to 2n bits */
mpfr_mul (t, t, x, MPFR_RNDN); /* t is correct to 2n bits */
mpfr_ui_sub (t, 1, t, MPFR_RNDN); /* high n bits cancel with 1 */
mpfr_prec_round (t, n, MPFR_RNDN); /* t is correct to n bits */
mpfr_mul (t, t, x, MPFR_RNDN); /* t is correct to n bits */
mpfr_prec_round (x, 2 * n, MPFR_RNDN); /* exact */
mpfr_add (x, x, t, MPFR_RNDN); /* x is correct to 2n bits */
-- Function: int mpfr_can_round (mpfr_t B, mpfr_exp_t ERR, mpfr_rnd_t
RND1, mpfr_rnd_t RND2, mpfr_prec_t PREC)
Assuming B is an approximation of an unknown number X in the
direction RND1 with error at most two to the power E(b)-ERR where
E(b) is the exponent of B, return a non-zero value if one is able
to round correctly X to precision PREC with the direction RND2,
and 0 otherwise (including for NaN and Inf). This function *does
not modify* its arguments.
If RND1 is `MPFR_RNDN', then the sign of the error is unknown, but
its absolute value is the same, so that the possible range is
twice as large as with a directed rounding for RND1.
Note: if one wants to also determine the correct ternary value
when rounding B to precision PREC with rounding mode RND, a useful
trick is the following: if (mpfr_can_round (b, err, MPFR_RNDN, MPFR_RNDZ, prec + (rnd == MPFR_RNDN)))
...
Indeed, if RND is `MPFR_RNDN', this will check if one can round
to PREC+1 bits with a directed rounding: if so, one can surely
round to nearest to PREC bits, and in addition one can determine
the correct ternary value, which would not be the case when B is
near from a value exactly representable on PREC bits.
-- Function: mpfr_prec_t mpfr_min_prec (mpfr_t X)
Return the minimal number of bits required to store the
significand of X, and 0 for special values, including 0. (Warning:
the returned value can be less than `MPFR_PREC_MIN'.)
The function name is subject to change.
-- Function: const char * mpfr_print_rnd_mode (mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Return a string ("MPFR_RNDD", "MPFR_RNDU", "MPFR_RNDN",
"MPFR_RNDZ", "MPFR_RNDA") corresponding to the rounding mode RND,
or a null pointer if RND is an invalid rounding mode.

5.12 Miscellaneous Functions
============================
-- Function: void mpfr_nexttoward (mpfr_t X, mpfr_t Y)
If X or Y is NaN, set X to NaN. If X and Y are equal, X is
unchanged. Otherwise, if X is different from Y, replace X by the
next floating-point number (with the precision of X and the
current exponent range) in the direction of Y (the infinite values
are seen as the smallest and largest floating-point numbers). If
the result is zero, it keeps the same sign. No underflow or
overflow is generated.
-- Function: void mpfr_nextabove (mpfr_t X)
-- Function: void mpfr_nextbelow (mpfr_t X)
Equivalent to `mpfr_nexttoward' where Y is plus infinity (resp.
minus infinity).
-- Function: int mpfr_min (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP1, mpfr_t OP2,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_max (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP1, mpfr_t OP2,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set ROP to the minimum (resp. maximum) of OP1 and OP2. If OP1 and
OP2 are both NaN, then ROP is set to NaN. If OP1 or OP2 is NaN,
then ROP is set to the numeric value. If OP1 and OP2 are zeros of
different signs, then ROP is set to -0 (resp. +0).
-- Function: int mpfr_urandomb (mpfr_t ROP, gmp_randstate_t STATE)
Generate a uniformly distributed random float in the interval 0 <=
ROP < 1. More precisely, the number can be seen as a float with a
random non-normalized significand and exponent 0, which is then
normalized (thus if E denotes the exponent after normalization,
then the least -E significant bits of the significand are always
0).
Return 0, unless the exponent is not in the current exponent
range, in which case ROP is set to NaN and a non-zero value is
returned (this should never happen in practice, except in very
specific cases). The second argument is a `gmp_randstate_t'
structure which should be created using the GMP `gmp_randinit'
function (see the GMP manual).
-- Function: int mpfr_urandom (mpfr_t ROP, gmp_randstate_t STATE,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Generate a uniformly distributed random float. The floating-point
number ROP can be seen as if a random real number is generated
according to the continuous uniform distribution on the interval
[0, 1] and then rounded in the direction RND.
The second argument is a `gmp_randstate_t' structure which should
be created using the GMP `gmp_randinit' function (see the GMP
manual).
-- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_exp (mpfr_t X)
Return the exponent of X, assuming that X is a non-zero ordinary
number and the significand is considered in [1/2,1). The behavior
for NaN, infinity or zero is undefined.
-- Function: int mpfr_set_exp (mpfr_t X, mpfr_exp_t E)
Set the exponent of X if E is in the current exponent range, and
return 0 (even if X is not a non-zero ordinary number); otherwise,
return a non-zero value. The significand is assumed to be in
[1/2,1).
-- Function: int mpfr_signbit (mpfr_t OP)
Return a non-zero value iff OP has its sign bit set (i.e., if it is
negative, -0, or a NaN whose representation has its sign bit set).
-- Function: int mpfr_setsign (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, int S,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set the value of ROP from OP, rounded toward the given direction
RND, then set (resp. clear) its sign bit if S is non-zero (resp.
zero), even when OP is a NaN.
-- Function: int mpfr_copysign (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP1, mpfr_t OP2,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Set the value of ROP from OP1, rounded toward the given direction
RND, then set its sign bit to that of OP2 (even when OP1 or OP2 is
a NaN). This function is equivalent to `mpfr_setsign (ROP, OP1,
mpfr_signbit (OP2), RND)'.
-- Function: const char * mpfr_get_version (void)
Return the MPFR version, as a null-terminated string.
-- Macro: MPFR_VERSION
-- Macro: MPFR_VERSION_MAJOR
-- Macro: MPFR_VERSION_MINOR
-- Macro: MPFR_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL
-- Macro: MPFR_VERSION_STRING
`MPFR_VERSION' is the version of MPFR as a preprocessing constant.
`MPFR_VERSION_MAJOR', `MPFR_VERSION_MINOR' and
`MPFR_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL' are respectively the major, minor and
patch level of MPFR version, as preprocessing constants.
`MPFR_VERSION_STRING' is the version (with an optional suffix, used
in development and pre-release versions) as a string constant,
which can be compared to the result of `mpfr_get_version' to check
at run time the header file and library used match:
if (strcmp (mpfr_get_version (), MPFR_VERSION_STRING))
fprintf (stderr, "Warning: header and library do not match\n");
Note: Obtaining different strings is not necessarily an error, as
in general, a program compiled with some old MPFR version can be
dynamically linked with a newer MPFR library version (if allowed
by the library versioning system).
-- Macro: long MPFR_VERSION_NUM (MAJOR, MINOR, PATCHLEVEL)
Create an integer in the same format as used by `MPFR_VERSION'
from the given MAJOR, MINOR and PATCHLEVEL. Here is an example of
how to check the MPFR version at compile time:
#if (!defined(MPFR_VERSION) || (MPFR_VERSION<MPFR_VERSION_NUM(3,0,0)))
# error "Wrong MPFR version."
#endif
-- Function: const char * mpfr_get_patches (void)
Return a null-terminated string containing the ids of the patches
applied to the MPFR library (contents of the `PATCHES' file),
separated by spaces. Note: If the program has been compiled with
an older MPFR version and is dynamically linked with a new MPFR
library version, the identifiers of the patches applied to the old
(compile-time) MPFR version are not available (however this
information should not have much interest in general).
-- Function: int mpfr_buildopt_tls_p (void)
Return a non-zero value if MPFR was compiled as thread safe using
compiler-level Thread Local Storage (that is MPFR was built with
the `--enable-thread-safe' configure option, see `INSTALL' file),
return zero otherwise.
-- Function: int mpfr_buildopt_decimal_p (void)
Return a non-zero value if MPFR was compiled with decimal float
support (that is MPFR was built with the `--enable-decimal-float'
configure option), return zero otherwise.

5.13 Exception Related Functions
================================
-- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emin (void)
-- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emax (void)
Return the (current) smallest and largest exponents allowed for a
floating-point variable. The smallest positive value of a
floating-point variable is one half times 2 raised to the smallest
exponent and the largest value has the form (1 - epsilon) times 2
raised to the largest exponent, where epsilon depends on the
precision of the considered variable.
-- Function: int mpfr_set_emin (mpfr_exp_t EXP)
-- Function: int mpfr_set_emax (mpfr_exp_t EXP)
Set the smallest and largest exponents allowed for a
floating-point variable. Return a non-zero value when EXP is not
in the range accepted by the implementation (in that case the
smallest or largest exponent is not changed), and zero otherwise.
If the user changes the exponent range, it is her/his
responsibility to check that all current floating-point variables
are in the new allowed range (for example using
`mpfr_check_range'), otherwise the subsequent behavior will be
undefined, in the sense of the ISO C standard.
-- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emin_min (void)
-- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emin_max (void)
-- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emax_min (void)
-- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emax_max (void)
Return the minimum and maximum of the exponents allowed for
`mpfr_set_emin' and `mpfr_set_emax' respectively. These values
are implementation dependent, thus a program using
`mpfr_set_emax(mpfr_get_emax_max())' or
`mpfr_set_emin(mpfr_get_emin_min())' may not be portable.
-- Function: int mpfr_check_range (mpfr_t X, int T, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
This function assumes that X is the correctly-rounded value of some
real value Y in the direction RND and some extended exponent
range, and that T is the corresponding ternary value. For
example, one performed `t = mpfr_log (x, u, rnd)', and Y is the
exact logarithm of U. Thus T is negative if X is smaller than Y,
positive if X is larger than Y, and zero if X equals Y. This
function modifies X if needed to be in the current range of
acceptable values: It generates an underflow or an overflow if the
exponent of X is outside the current allowed range; the value of T
may be used to avoid a double rounding. This function returns zero
if the new value of X equals the exact one Y, a positive value if
that new value is larger than Y, and a negative value if it is
smaller than Y. Note that unlike most functions, the new result X
is compared to the (unknown) exact one Y, not the input value X,
i.e., the ternary value is propagated.
Note: If X is an infinity and T is different from zero (i.e., if
the rounded result is an inexact infinity), then the overflow flag
is set. This is useful because `mpfr_check_range' is typically
called (at least in MPFR functions) after restoring the flags that
could have been set due to internal computations.
-- Function: int mpfr_subnormalize (mpfr_t X, int T, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
This function rounds X emulating subnormal number arithmetic: if X
is outside the subnormal exponent range, it just propagates the
ternary value T; otherwise, it rounds X to precision
`EXP(x)-emin+1' according to rounding mode RND and previous
ternary value T, avoiding double rounding problems. More
precisely in the subnormal domain, denoting by E the value of
`emin', X is rounded in fixed-point arithmetic to an integer
multiple of two to the power E-1; as a consequence, 1.5 multiplied
by two to the power E-1 when T is zero is rounded to two to the
power E with rounding to nearest.
`PREC(x)' is not modified by this function. RND and T must be the
rounding mode and the returned ternary value used when computing X
(as in `mpfr_check_range'). The subnormal exponent range is from
`emin' to `emin+PREC(x)-1'. If the result cannot be represented
in the current exponent range (due to a too small `emax'), the
behavior is undefined. Note that unlike most functions, the
result is compared to the exact one, not the input value X, i.e.,
the ternary value is propagated.
As usual, if the returned ternary value is non zero, the inexact
flag is set. Moreover, if a second rounding occurred (because the
input X was in the subnormal range), the underflow flag is set.
This is an example of how to emulate binary double IEEE 754
arithmetic (binary64 in IEEE 754-2008) using MPFR:
{
mpfr_t xa, xb; int i; volatile double a, b;
mpfr_set_default_prec (53);
mpfr_set_emin (-1073); mpfr_set_emax (1024);
mpfr_init (xa); mpfr_init (xb);
b = 34.3; mpfr_set_d (xb, b, MPFR_RNDN);
a = 0x1.1235P-1021; mpfr_set_d (xa, a, MPFR_RNDN);
a /= b;
i = mpfr_div (xa, xa, xb, MPFR_RNDN);
i = mpfr_subnormalize (xa, i, MPFR_RNDN); /* new ternary value */
mpfr_clear (xa); mpfr_clear (xb);
}
Warning: this emulates a double IEEE 754 arithmetic with correct
rounding in the subnormal range, which may not be the case for your
hardware.
-- Function: void mpfr_clear_underflow (void)
-- Function: void mpfr_clear_overflow (void)
-- Function: void mpfr_clear_nanflag (void)
-- Function: void mpfr_clear_inexflag (void)

Clear all global flags (underflow, overflow, invalid, inexact,
_erange_).
-- Function: int mpfr_underflow_p (void)

-- Function: int mpfr_nanflag_p (void)
-- Function: int mpfr_inexflag_p (void)

5.14 Compatibility With MPF
===========================
A header file `mpf2mpfr.h' is included in the distribution of MPFR for
compatibility with the GNU MP class MPF. By inserting the following
two lines after the `#include <gmp.h>' line,
#include <mpfr.h>
#include <mpf2mpfr.h>
any program written for MPF can be compiled directly with MPFR without
any changes (except the `gmp_printf' functions will not work for
arguments of type `mpfr_t'). All operations are then performed with
the default MPFR rounding mode, which can be reset with
`mpfr_set_default_rounding_mode'.
Warning: the `mpf_init' and `mpf_init2' functions initialize to
zero, whereas the corresponding MPFR functions initialize to NaN: this
is useful to detect uninitialized values, but is slightly incompatible
with MPF.
-- Function: void mpfr_set_prec_raw (mpfr_t X, mpfr_prec_t PREC)
Reset the precision of X to be *exactly* PREC bits. The only
difference with `mpfr_set_prec' is that PREC is assumed to be
small enough so that the significand fits into the current
allocated memory space for X. Otherwise the behavior is undefined.
-- Function: int mpfr_eq (mpfr_t OP1, mpfr_t OP2, unsigned long int
OP3)
Return non-zero if OP1 and OP2 are both non-zero ordinary numbers
with the same exponent and the same first OP3 bits, both zero, or
both infinities of the same sign. Return zero otherwise. This
function is defined for compatibility with MPF, we do not recommend
to use it otherwise. Do not use it either if you want to know
whether two numbers are close to each other; for instance,
1.011111 and 1.100000 are regarded as different for any value of
OP3 larger than 1.
-- Function: void mpfr_reldiff (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP1, mpfr_t OP2,
mpfr_rnd_t RND)
Compute the relative difference between OP1 and OP2 and store the
result in ROP. This function does not guarantee the correct
rounding on the relative difference; it just computes
|OP1-OP2|/OP1, using the precision of ROP and the rounding mode
RND for all operations.
-- Function: int mpfr_mul_2exp (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP1, unsigned long
int OP2, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
-- Function: int mpfr_div_2exp (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP1, unsigned long
int OP2, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
These functions are identical to `mpfr_mul_2ui' and `mpfr_div_2ui'
respectively. These functions are only kept for compatibility
with MPF, one should prefer `mpfr_mul_2ui' and `mpfr_div_2ui'
otherwise.

5.15 Custom Interface
=====================
Some applications use a stack to handle the memory and their objects.
However, the MPFR memory design is not well suited for such a thing. So
that such applications are able to use MPFR, an auxiliary memory
interface has been created: the Custom Interface.
The following interface allows one to use MPFR in two ways:
* Either directly store a floating-point number as a `mpfr_t' on the
stack.
* Either store its own representation on the stack and construct a
new temporary `mpfr_t' each time it is needed.
Nothing has to be done to destroy the floating-point numbers except
garbaging the used memory: all the memory management (allocating,
destroying, garbaging) is left to the application.
Each function in this interface is also implemented as a macro for
efficiency reasons: for example `mpfr_custom_init (s, p)' uses the
macro, while `(mpfr_custom_init) (s, p)' uses the function.
Note 1: MPFR functions may still initialize temporary floating-point
numbers using `mpfr_init' and similar functions. See Custom Allocation
(GNU MP).
Note 2: MPFR functions may use the cached functions (`mpfr_const_pi'
for example), even if they are not explicitly called. You have to call
`mpfr_free_cache' each time you garbage the memory iff `mpfr_init',
through GMP Custom Allocation, allocates its memory on the application
stack.
-- Function: size_t mpfr_custom_get_size (mpfr_prec_t PREC)
Return the needed size in bytes to store the significand of a
floating-point number of precision PREC.
-- Function: void mpfr_custom_init (void *SIGNIFICAND, mpfr_prec_t
PREC)
Initialize a significand of precision PREC, where SIGNIFICAND must
be an area of `mpfr_custom_get_size (prec)' bytes at least and be
suitably aligned for an array of `mp_limb_t' (GMP type, *note
Internals::).
-- Function: void mpfr_custom_init_set (mpfr_t X, int KIND, mpfr_exp_t
EXP, mpfr_prec_t PREC, void *SIGNIFICAND)
Perform a dummy initialization of a `mpfr_t' and set it to:
* if `ABS(kind) == MPFR_NAN_KIND', X is set to NaN;
* if `ABS(kind) == MPFR_INF_KIND', X is set to the infinity of
sign `sign(kind)';
* if `ABS(kind) == MPFR_ZERO_KIND', X is set to the zero of
sign `sign(kind)';
* if `ABS(kind) == MPFR_REGULAR_KIND', X is set to a regular
number: `x = sign(kind)*significand*2^exp'.
In all cases, it uses SIGNIFICAND directly for further computing
involving X. It will not allocate anything. A floating-point
number initialized with this function cannot be resized using
`mpfr_set_prec' or `mpfr_prec_round', or cleared using
`mpfr_clear'! The SIGNIFICAND must have been initialized with
`mpfr_custom_init' using the same precision PREC.
-- Function: int mpfr_custom_get_kind (mpfr_t X)
Return the current kind of a `mpfr_t' as created by
`mpfr_custom_init_set'. The behavior of this function for any
`mpfr_t' not initialized with `mpfr_custom_init_set' is undefined.
-- Function: void * mpfr_custom_get_significand (mpfr_t X)
Return a pointer to the significand used by a `mpfr_t' initialized
with `mpfr_custom_init_set'. The behavior of this function for
any `mpfr_t' not initialized with `mpfr_custom_init_set' is
undefined.
-- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_custom_get_exp (mpfr_t X)
Return the exponent of X, assuming that X is a non-zero ordinary
number. The return value for NaN, Infinity or zero is unspecified
but does not produce any trap. The behavior of this function for
any `mpfr_t' not initialized with `mpfr_custom_init_set' is
undefined.
-- Function: void mpfr_custom_move (mpfr_t X, void *NEW_POSITION)
Inform MPFR that the significand of X has moved due to a garbage
collect and update its new position to `new_position'. However
the application has to move the significand and the `mpfr_t'
itself. The behavior of this function for any `mpfr_t' not
initialized with `mpfr_custom_init_set' is undefined.

5.16 Internals
==============
A "limb" means the part of a multi-precision number that fits in a
single word. Usually a limb contains 32 or 64 bits. The C data type
for a limb is `mp_limb_t'.
The `mpfr_t' type is internally defined as a one-element array of a
structure, and `mpfr_ptr' is the C data type representing a pointer to
this structure. The `mpfr_t' type consists of four fields:
* The `_mpfr_prec' field is used to store the precision of the
variable (in bits); this is not less than `MPFR_PREC_MIN'.
* The `_mpfr_sign' field is used to store the sign of the variable.
* The `_mpfr_exp' field stores the exponent. An exponent of 0 means
a radix point just above the most significant limb. Non-zero
values n are a multiplier 2^n relative to that point. A NaN, an
infinity and a zero are indicated by special values of the exponent
field.
* Finally, the `_mpfr_d' field is a pointer to the limbs, least
significant limbs stored first. The number of limbs in use is
controlled by `_mpfr_prec', namely
ceil(`_mpfr_prec'/`mp_bits_per_limb'). Non-singular (i.e.,
different from NaN, Infinity or zero) values always have the most
significant bit of the most significant limb set to 1. When the
precision does not correspond to a whole number of limbs, the
excess bits at the low end of the data are zeros.

6 API Compatibility
*******************
The goal of this section is to describe some API changes that occurred
from one version of MPFR to another, and how to write code that can be
compiled and run with older MPFR versions. The minimum MPFR version
that is considered here is 2.2.0 (released on 20 September 2005).
API changes can only occur between major or minor versions. Thus the
patchlevel (the third number in the MPFR version) will be ignored in
the following. If a program does not use MPFR internals, changes in
the behavior between two versions differing only by the patchlevel
should only result from what was regarded as a bug or unspecified
behavior.
As a general rule, a program written for some MPFR version should
work with later versions, possibly except at a new major version, where
some features (described as obsolete for some time) can be removed. In
such a case, a failure should occur during compilation or linking. If
a result becomes incorrect because of such a change, please look at the
various changes below (they are minimal, and most software should be
unaffected), at the FAQ and at the MPFR web page for your version (a
bug could have been introduced and be already fixed); and if the
problem is not mentioned, please send us a bug report (*note Reporting
Bugs::).
However, a program written for the current MPFR version (as
documented by this manual) may not necessarily work with previous
versions of MPFR. This section should help developers to write
portable code.
Note: Information given here may be incomplete. API changes are
also described in the NEWS file (for each version, instead of being
classified like here), together with other changes.

6.1 Type and Macro Changes
==========================
The official type for exponent values changed from `mp_exp_t' to
`mpfr_exp_t' in MPFR 3.0. The type `mp_exp_t' will remain available as
it comes from GMP (with a different meaning). These types are
currently the same (`mpfr_exp_t' is defined as `mp_exp_t' with
`typedef'), so that programs can still use `mp_exp_t'; but this may
change in the future. Alternatively, using the following code after
including `mpfr.h' will work with official MPFR versions, as
`mpfr_exp_t' was never defined in MPFR 2.x:
#if MPFR_VERSION_MAJOR < 3
typedef mp_exp_t mpfr_exp_t;
#endif
The official types for precision values and for rounding modes
respectively changed from `mp_prec_t' and `mp_rnd_t' to `mpfr_prec_t'
and `mpfr_rnd_t' in MPFR 3.0. This change was actually done a long
time ago in MPFR, at least since MPFR 2.2.0, with the following code in
`mpfr.h':
#ifndef mp_rnd_t
# define mp_rnd_t mpfr_rnd_t
#endif
#ifndef mp_prec_t
# define mp_prec_t mpfr_prec_t
#endif
This means that it is safe to use the new official types
`mpfr_prec_t' and `mpfr_rnd_t' in your programs. The types `mp_prec_t'
and `mp_rnd_t' (defined in MPFR only) may be removed in the future, as
the prefix `mp_' is reserved by GMP.
The precision type `mpfr_prec_t' (`mp_prec_t') was unsigned before
MPFR 3.0; it is now signed. `MPFR_PREC_MAX' has not changed, though.
Indeed the MPFR code requires that `MPFR_PREC_MAX' be representable in
the exponent type, which may have the same size as `mpfr_prec_t' but
has always been signed. The consequence is that valid code that does
not assume anything about the signedness of `mpfr_prec_t' should work
with past and new MPFR versions. This change was useful as the use of
unsigned types tends to convert signed values to unsigned ones in
expressions due to the usual arithmetic conversions, which can yield
incorrect results if a negative value is converted in such a way.
Warning! A program assuming (intentionally or not) that `mpfr_prec_t'
is signed may be affected by this problem when it is built and run
against MPFR 2.x.
The rounding modes `GMP_RNDx' were renamed to `MPFR_RNDx' in MPFR
3.0. However the old names `GMP_RNDx' have been kept for compatibility
(this might change in future versions), using:
#define GMP_RNDN MPFR_RNDN
#define GMP_RNDZ MPFR_RNDZ
#define GMP_RNDU MPFR_RNDU
#define GMP_RNDD MPFR_RNDD
The rounding mode "round away from zero" (`MPFR_RNDA') was added in
MPFR 3.0 (however no rounding mode `GMP_RNDA' exists).

6.2 Added Functions
===================
We give here in alphabetical order the functions that were added after
MPFR 2.2, and in which MPFR version.
* `mpfr_add_d' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_ai' in MPFR 3.0 (incomplete, experimental).
* `mpfr_asprintf' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_buildopt_decimal_p' and `mpfr_buildopt_tls_p' in MPFR 3.0.
* `mpfr_copysign' in MPFR 2.3. Note: MPFR 2.2 had a `mpfr_copysign'
function that was available, but not documented, and with a slight
difference in the semantics (when the second input operand is a
NaN).
* `mpfr_custom_get_significand' in MPFR 3.0. This function was
named `mpfr_custom_get_mantissa' in previous versions;
`mpfr_custom_get_mantissa' is still available via a macro in
`mpfr.h':
#define mpfr_custom_get_mantissa mpfr_custom_get_significand
Thus code that needs to work with both MPFR 2.x and MPFR 3.x should
use `mpfr_custom_get_mantissa'.
* `mpfr_d_div' and `mpfr_d_sub' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_digamma' in MPFR 3.0.
* `mpfr_div_d' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_fmod' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_fms' in MPFR 2.3.
* `mpfr_fprintf' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_get_flt' in MPFR 3.0.
* `mpfr_get_patches' in MPFR 2.3.
* `mpfr_get_z_2exp' in MPFR 3.0. This function was named
`mpfr_get_z_exp' in previous versions; `mpfr_get_z_exp' is still
available via a macro in `mpfr.h':
#define mpfr_get_z_exp mpfr_get_z_2exp
Thus code that needs to work with both MPFR 2.x and MPFR 3.x should
use `mpfr_get_z_exp'.
* `mpfr_j0', `mpfr_j1' and `mpfr_jn' in MPFR 2.3.
* `mpfr_lgamma' in MPFR 2.3.
* `mpfr_li2' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_modf' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_mul_d' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_printf' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_rec_sqrt' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_regular_p' in MPFR 3.0.
* `mpfr_remainder' and `mpfr_remquo' in MPFR 2.3.
* `mpfr_set_flt' in MPFR 3.0.
* `mpfr_set_z_2exp' in MPFR 3.0.
* `mpfr_set_zero' in MPFR 3.0.
* `mpfr_setsign' in MPFR 2.3.
* `mpfr_signbit' in MPFR 2.3.
* `mpfr_sinh_cosh' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_snprintf' and `mpfr_sprintf' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_sub_d' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_urandom' in MPFR 3.0.
* `mpfr_vasprintf', `mpfr_vfprintf', `mpfr_vprintf',
`mpfr_vsprintf' and `mpfr_vsnprintf' in MPFR 2.4.
* `mpfr_y0', `mpfr_y1' and `mpfr_yn' in MPFR 2.3.

6.3 Changed Functions
=====================
The following functions have changed after MPFR 2.2. Changes can affect
the behavior of code written for some MPFR version when built and run
against another MPFR version (older or newer), as described below.
* `mpfr_check_range' changed in MPFR 2.3.2 and MPFR 2.4. If the
value is an inexact infinity, the overflow flag is now set (in
case it was lost), while it was previously left unchanged. This
is really what is expected in practice (and what the MPFR code was
expecting), so that the previous behavior was regarded as a bug.
Hence the change in MPFR 2.3.2.
* `mpfr_get_f' changed in MPFR 3.0. This function was returning
zero, except for NaN and Inf, which do not exist in MPF. The
_erange_ flag is now set in these cases, and `mpfr_get_f' now
returns the usual ternary value.
* `mpfr_get_si', `mpfr_get_sj', `mpfr_get_ui' and `mpfr_get_uj'
changed in MPFR 3.0. In previous MPFR versions, the cases where
the _erange_ flag is set were unspecified.
* `mpfr_get_z' changed in MPFR 3.0. The return type was `void'; it
is now `int', and the usual ternary value is returned. Thus
programs that need to work with both MPFR 2.x and 3.x must not use
the return value. Even in this case, C code using `mpfr_get_z' as
the second or third term of a conditional operator may also be
affected. For instance, the following is correct with MPFR 3.0,
but not with MPFR 2.x:
bool ? mpfr_get_z(...) : mpfr_add(...);
On the other hand, the following is correct with MPFR 2.x, but not
with MPFR 3.0:
bool ? mpfr_get_z(...) : (void) mpfr_add(...);
Portable code should cast `mpfr_get_z(...)' to `void' to use the
type `void' for both terms of the conditional operator, as in:
bool ? (void) mpfr_get_z(...) : (void) mpfr_add(...);
Alternatively, `if ... else' can be used instead of the
conditional operator.
Moreover the cases where the _erange_ flag is set were unspecified
in MPFR 2.x.
* `mpfr_get_z_exp' changed in MPFR 3.0. In previous MPFR versions,
the cases where the _erange_ flag is set were unspecified. Note:
this function has been renamed to `mpfr_get_z_2exp' in MPFR 3.0,
but `mpfr_get_z_exp' is still available for compatibility reasons.
* `mpfr_strtofr' changed in MPFR 2.3.1 and MPFR 2.4. This was
actually a bug fix since the code and the documentation did not
match. But both were changed in order to have a more consistent
and useful behavior. The main changes in the code are as follows.
The binary exponent is now accepted even without the `0b' or `0x'
prefix. Data corresponding to NaN can now have an optional sign
(such data were previously invalid).
* `mpfr_strtofr' changed in MPFR 3.0. This function now accepts
bases from 37 to 62 (no changes for the other bases). Note: if an
unsupported base is provided to this function, the behavior is
undefined; more precisely, in MPFR 2.3.1 and later, providing an
unsupported base yields an assertion failure (this behavior may
change in the future).
* `mpfr_subnormalize' changed in MPFR 3.0.1. This was actually
regarded as a bug fix. The `mpfr_subnormalize' implementation up
to MPFR 3.0.0 did not change the flags. In particular, it did not
follow the generic rule concerning the inexact flag (and no
special behavior was specified). The case of the underflow flag
was more a lack of specification.

6.4 Removed Functions
=====================
Functions `mpfr_random' and `mpfr_random2' have been removed in MPFR
3.0 (this only affects old code built against MPFR 3.0 or later). (The
function `mpfr_random' had been deprecated since at least MPFR 2.2.0,
and `mpfr_random2' since MPFR 2.4.0.)

File: mpfr.info, Node: Other Changes, Prev: Removed Functions, Up: API Compatibility
6.5 Other Changes
=================
For users of a C++ compiler, the way how the availability of `intmax_t'
is detected has changed in MPFR 3.0. In MPFR 2.x, if a macro
`INTMAX_C' or `UINTMAX_C' was defined (e.g. when the
`__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS' macro had been defined before `<stdint.h>' or
`<inttypes.h>' has been included), `intmax_t' was assumed to be defined.
However this was not always the case (more precisely, `intmax_t' can be
defined only in the namespace `std', as with Boost), so that
compilations could fail. Thus the check for `INTMAX_C' or `UINTMAX_C'
is now disabled for C++ compilers, with the following consequences:
* Programs written for MPFR 2.x that need `intmax_t' may no longer
be compiled against MPFR 3.0: a `#define MPFR_USE_INTMAX_T' may be
necessary before `mpfr.h' is included.
* The compilation of programs that work with MPFR 3.0 may fail with
MPFR 2.x due to the problem described above. Workarounds are
possible, such as defining `intmax_t' and `uintmax_t' in the global
namespace, though this is not clean.

Contributors
************
The main developers of MPFR are Guillaume Hanrot, Vincent Lefèvre,
Patrick Pélissier, Philippe Théveny and Paul Zimmermann.
Sylvie Boldo from ENS-Lyon, France, contributed the functions
`mpfr_agm' and `mpfr_log'. Emmanuel Jeandel, from ENS-Lyon too,
contributed the generic hypergeometric code, as well as the internal
function `mpfr_exp3', a first implementation of the sine and cosine,
and improved versions of `mpfr_const_log2' and `mpfr_const_pi'.
Mathieu Dutour contributed the functions `mpfr_atan' and `mpfr_asin',
and a previous version of `mpfr_gamma'; David Daney contributed the
hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions, the base-2 exponential,
and the factorial function. Fabrice Rouillier contributed the
`mpfr_xxx_z' and `mpfr_xxx_q' functions, and helped to the Microsoft
Windows porting. Jean-Luc Rémy contributed the `mpfr_zeta' code.
Ludovic Meunier helped in the design of the `mpfr_erf' code. Damien
Stehlé contributed the `mpfr_get_ld_2exp' function. Sylvain Chevillard
contributed the `mpfr_ai' function.
We would like to thank Jean-Michel Muller and Joris van der Hoeven
for very fruitful discussions at the beginning of that project,
Torbjörn Granlund and Kevin Ryde for their help about design issues,
and Nathalie Revol for her careful reading of a previous version of
this documentation. In particular Kevin Ryde did a tremendous job for
the portability of MPFR in 2002-2004.
The development of the MPFR library would not have been possible
without the continuous support of INRIA, and of the LORIA (Nancy,
France) and LIP (Lyon, France) laboratories. In particular the main
authors were or are members of the PolKA, Spaces, Cacao and Caramel
project-teams at LORIA and of the Arénaire project-team at LIP. This
project was started during the Fiable (reliable in French) action
supported by INRIA, and continued during the AOC action. The
development of MPFR was also supported by a grant (202F0659 00 MPN 121)
from the Conseil Régional de Lorraine in 2002, from INRIA by an
"associate engineer" grant (2003-2005), an "opération de développement
logiciel" grant (2007-2009), and the post-doctoral grant of Sylvain
Chevillard in 2009-2010.

*****************************************
Version 1.2, November 2002
Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
0. PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
with or without modifying it, either commercially or
noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
that the software does. But this License is not limited to
software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.
We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
instruction or reference.
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice
grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
"Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You
accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
way requiring permission under copyright law.
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document
is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of
historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
regarding them.
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
the notice that says that the Document is released under this
License. If a section does not fit the above definition of
Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document
does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
that says that the Document is released under this License. A
Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
be at most 25 words.
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an
otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is
not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A
copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include
PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
material this License requires to appear in the title page. For
works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ
stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
"Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
to this definition.
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
which states that this License applies to the Document. These
Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
has no effect on the meaning of this License.
2. VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You
may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you
distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
the conditions in section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
and you may publicly display copies.
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly
and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The
front cover must present the full title with all words of the
title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material
on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the
covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
adjacent pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
numbering more than 100, you must either include a
machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
which the general network-using public has access to download
using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the
latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
location until at least one year after the last time you
distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
retailers) of that edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
the Document well before redistributing any large number of
copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
version of the Document.
4. MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these
things in the Modified Version:
A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
in the History section of the Document). You may use the
same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
that version gives permission.
B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
from this requirement.
C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
Modified Version, as the publisher.
D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
the Addendum below.
G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
license notice.
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in
the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,
and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in
the previous sentence.
J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
likewise the network locations given in the Document for
previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in
the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a
work that was published at least four years before the
Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
it refers to gives permission.
K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
titles.
M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
may not be included in the Modified Version.
N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
"Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
Section.
O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
material copied from the Document, you may at your option
designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this,
add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any
other section titles.
You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
definition of a standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end
of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one
passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the
Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
publisher that added the old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under
this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
their Warranty Disclaimers.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
"History" in the various original documents, forming one section
Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
"Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You
must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
documents released under this License, and replace the individual
copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
documents in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
that document.
7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
the whole aggregate.
8. TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
include the original English version of this License and the
original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a
disagreement between the translation and the original version of
this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
prevail.
If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
actual title.
9. TERMINATION
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other
attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
`http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
that specified version or of any later version that has been
published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If
the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
Free Software Foundation.
A.1 ADDENDUM: How to Use This License For Your Documents
========================================================
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
notices just after the title page:
Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
Free Documentation License''.
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
being LIST.
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
situation.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
permit their use in free software.
