     61 MPFR Copying Conditions
     62 ***********************
     63 
     64 The GNU MPFR library (or MPFR for short) is "free"; this means that
     65 everyone is free to use it and free to redistribute it on a free basis.
     66 The library is not in the public domain; it is copyrighted and there
     67 are restrictions on its distribution, but these restrictions are
     68 designed to permit everything that a good cooperating citizen would
     69 want to do.  What is not allowed is to try to prevent others from
     70 further sharing any version of this library that they might get from
     71 you.
     72 
     73    Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
     74 away copies of the library, that you receive source code or else can
     75 get it if you want it, that you can change this library or use pieces
     76 of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
     77 
     78    To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
     79 deprive anyone else of these rights.  For example, if you distribute
     80 copies of the GNU MPFR library, you must give the recipients all the
     81 rights that you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or
     82 can get the source code.  And you must tell them their rights.
     83 
     84    Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
     85 finds out that there is no warranty for the GNU MPFR library.  If it is
     86 modified by someone else and passed on, we want their recipients to
     87 know that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any
     88 problems introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation.
     89 
     90    The precise conditions of the license for the GNU MPFR library are
     91 found in the Lesser General Public License that accompanies the source
     92 code.  See the file COPYING.LESSER.

     97 1 Introduction to MPFR
     98 **********************
     99 
    100 MPFR is a portable library written in C for arbitrary precision
    101 arithmetic on floating-point numbers. It is based on the GNU MP library.
    102 It aims to provide a class of floating-point numbers with precise
    103 semantics. The main characteristics of MPFR, which make it differ from
    104 most arbitrary precision floating-point software tools, are:
    105 
    106    * the MPFR code is portable, i.e., the result of any operation does
    107      not depend on the machine word size `mp_bits_per_limb' (64 on most
    108      current processors);
    109 
    110    * the precision in bits can be set _exactly_ to any valid value for
    111      each variable (including very small precision);
    112 
    113    * MPFR provides the four rounding modes from the IEEE 754-1985
    114      standard, plus away-from-zero, as well as for basic operations as
    115      for other mathematical functions.
    116 
    117    In particular, with a precision of 53 bits, MPFR is able to exactly
    118 reproduce all computations with double-precision machine floating-point
    119 numbers (e.g., `double' type in C, with a C implementation that
    120 rigorously follows Annex F of the ISO C99 standard and `FP_CONTRACT'
    121 pragma set to `OFF') on the four arithmetic operations and the square
    122 root, except the default exponent range is much wider and subnormal
    123 numbers are not implemented (but can be emulated).
    124 
    125    This version of MPFR is released under the GNU Lesser General Public
    126 License, version 3 or any later version.  It is permitted to link MPFR
    127 to most non-free programs, as long as when distributing them the MPFR
    128 source code and a means to re-link with a modified MPFR library is
    129 provided.
    130 
    131 1.1 How to Use This Manual
    132 ==========================
    133 
    134 Everyone should read *note MPFR Basics::.  If you need to install the
    135 library yourself, you need to read *note Installing MPFR::, too.  To
    136 use the library you will need to refer to *note MPFR Interface::.
    137 
    138    The rest of the manual can be used for later reference, although it
    139 is probably a good idea to glance through it.

    143 
    144 2 Installing MPFR
    145 *****************
    146 
    147 The MPFR library is already installed on some GNU/Linux distributions,
    148 but the development files necessary to the compilation such as `mpfr.h'
    149 are not always present. To check that MPFR is fully installed on your
    150 computer, you can check the presence of the file `mpfr.h' in
    151 `/usr/include', or try to compile a small program having `#include
    152 <mpfr.h>' (since `mpfr.h' may be installed somewhere else). For
    153 instance, you can try to compile:
    154 
    155      #include <stdio.h>
    156      #include <mpfr.h>
    157      int main (void)
    158      {
    159        printf ("MPFR library: %-12s\nMPFR header:  %s (based on %d.%d.%d)\n",
    160                mpfr_get_version (), MPFR_VERSION_STRING, MPFR_VERSION_MAJOR,
    161                MPFR_VERSION_MINOR, MPFR_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL);
    162        return 0;
    163      }
    164 
    165 with
    166 
    167      cc -o version version.c -lmpfr -lgmp
    168 
    169 and if you get errors whose first line looks like
    170 
    171      version.c:2:19: error: mpfr.h: No such file or directory
    172 
    173 then MPFR is probably not installed. Running this program will give you
    174 the MPFR version.
    175 
    176    If MPFR is not installed on your computer, or if you want to install
    177 a different version, please follow the steps below.
    178 
    179 2.1 How to Install
    180 ==================
    181 
    182 Here are the steps needed to install the library on Unix systems (more
    183 details are provided in the `INSTALL' file):
    184 
    185   1. To build MPFR, you first have to install GNU MP (version 4.1 or
    186      higher) on your computer.  You need a C compiler, preferably GCC,
    187      but any reasonable compiler should work.  And you need the
    188      standard Unix `make' command, plus some other standard Unix
    189      utility commands.
    190 
    191      Then, in the MPFR build directory, type the following commands.
    192 
    193   2. `./configure'
    194 
    195      This will prepare the build and setup the options according to
    196      your system.  You can give options to specify the install
    197      directories (instead of the default `/usr/local'), threading
    198      support, and so on. See the `INSTALL' file and/or the output of
    199      `./configure --help' for more information, in particular if you
    200      get error messages.
    201 
    202   3. `make'
    203 
    204      This will compile MPFR, and create a library archive file
    205      `libmpfr.a'.  On most platforms, a dynamic library will be
    206      produced too.
    207 
    208   4. `make check'
    209 
    210      This will make sure MPFR was built correctly.  If you get error
    211      messages, please report this to the MPFR mailing-list
    212      `mpfr (a] inria.fr'.  (*Note Reporting Bugs::, for information on what
    213      to include in useful bug reports.)
    214 
    215   5. `make install'
    216 
    217      This will copy the files `mpfr.h' and `mpf2mpfr.h' to the directory
    218      `/usr/local/include', the library files (`libmpfr.a' and possibly
    219      others) to the directory `/usr/local/lib', the file `mpfr.info' to
    220      the directory `/usr/local/share/info', and some other documentation
    221      files to the directory `/usr/local/share/doc/mpfr' (or if you
    222      passed the `--prefix' option to `configure', using the prefix
    223      directory given as argument to `--prefix' instead of `/usr/local').
    224 
    225 2.2 Other `make' Targets
    226 ========================
    227 
    228 There are some other useful make targets:
    229 
    230    * `mpfr.info' or `info'
    231 
    232      Create or update an info version of the manual, in `mpfr.info'.
    233 
    234      This file is already provided in the MPFR archives.
    235 
    236    * `mpfr.pdf' or `pdf'
    237 
    238      Create a PDF version of the manual, in `mpfr.pdf'.
    239 
    240    * `mpfr.dvi' or `dvi'
    241 
    242      Create a DVI version of the manual, in `mpfr.dvi'.
    243 
    244    * `mpfr.ps' or `ps'
    245 
    246      Create a Postscript version of the manual, in `mpfr.ps'.
    247 
    248    * `mpfr.html' or `html'
    249 
    250      Create a HTML version of the manual, in several pages in the
    251      directory `doc/mpfr.html'; if you want only one output HTML file,
    252      then type `makeinfo --html --no-split mpfr.texi' from the `doc'
    253      directory instead.
    254 
    255    * `clean'
    256 
    257      Delete all object files and archive files, but not the
    258      configuration files.
    259 
    260    * `distclean'
    261 
    262      Delete all generated files not included in the distribution.
    263 
    264    * `uninstall'
    265 
    266      Delete all files copied by `make install'.
    267 
    268 2.3 Build Problems
    269 ==================
    270 
    271 In case of problem, please read the `INSTALL' file carefully before
    272 reporting a bug, in particular section "In case of problem".  Some
    273 problems are due to bad configuration on the user side (not specific to
    274 MPFR). Problems are also mentioned in the FAQ
    275 `http://www.mpfr.org/faq.html'.
    276 
    277    Please report problems to the MPFR mailing-list `mpfr (a] inria.fr'.
    278 *Note Reporting Bugs::.  Some bug fixes are available on the MPFR 3.1.1
    279 web page `http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.1.1/'.
    280 
    281 2.4 Getting the Latest Version of MPFR
    282 ======================================
    283 
    284 The latest version of MPFR is available from
    285 `ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpfr/' or `http://www.mpfr.org/'.

    290 3 Reporting Bugs
    291 ****************
    292 
    293 If you think you have found a bug in the MPFR library, first have a look
    294 on the MPFR 3.1.1 web page `http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.1.1/' and the
    295 FAQ `http://www.mpfr.org/faq.html': perhaps this bug is already known,
    296 in which case you may find there a workaround for it.  You might also
    297 look in the archives of the MPFR mailing-list:
    298 `https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/mpfr'.  Otherwise, please investigate
    299 and report it.  We have made this library available to you, and it is
    300 not to ask too much from you, to ask you to report the bugs that you
    301 find.
    302 
    303    There are a few things you should think about when you put your bug
    304 report together.
    305 
    306    You have to send us a test case that makes it possible for us to
    307 reproduce the bug, i.e., a small self-content program, using no other
    308 library than MPFR.  Include instructions on how to run the test case.
    309 
    310    You also have to explain what is wrong; if you get a crash, or if
    311 the results you get are incorrect and in that case, in what way.
    312 
    313    Please include compiler version information in your bug report. This
    314 can be extracted using `cc -V' on some machines, or, if you're using
    315 GCC, `gcc -v'. Also, include the output from `uname -a' and the MPFR
    316 version (the GMP version may be useful too).  If you get a failure
    317 while running `make' or `make check', please include the `config.log'
    318 file in your bug report.
    319 
    320    If your bug report is good, we will do our best to help you to get a
    321 corrected version of the library; if the bug report is poor, we will
    322 not do anything about it (aside of chiding you to send better bug
    323 reports).
    324 
    325    Send your bug report to the MPFR mailing-list `mpfr (a] inria.fr'.
    326 
    327    If you think something in this manual is unclear, or downright
    328 incorrect, or if the language needs to be improved, please send a note
    329 to the same address.

    349 
    350 4.1 Headers and Libraries
    351 =========================
    352 
    353 All declarations needed to use MPFR are collected in the include file
    354 `mpfr.h'.  It is designed to work with both C and C++ compilers.  You
    355 should include that file in any program using the MPFR library:
    356 
    357      #include <mpfr.h>
    358 
    359    Note however that prototypes for MPFR functions with `FILE *'
    360 parameters are provided only if `<stdio.h>' is included too (before
    361 `mpfr.h'):
    362 
    363      #include <stdio.h>
    364      #include <mpfr.h>
    365 
    366    Likewise `<stdarg.h>' (or `<varargs.h>') is required for prototypes
    367 with `va_list' parameters, such as `mpfr_vprintf'.
    368 
    369    And for any functions using `intmax_t', you must include
    370 `<stdint.h>' or `<inttypes.h>' before `mpfr.h', to allow `mpfr.h' to
    371 define prototypes for these functions. Moreover, users of C++ compilers
    372 under some platforms may need to define `MPFR_USE_INTMAX_T' (and should
    373 do it for portability) before `mpfr.h' has been included; of course, it
    374 is possible to do that on the command line, e.g., with
    375 `-DMPFR_USE_INTMAX_T'.
    376 
    377    Note: If `mpfr.h' and/or `gmp.h' (used by `mpfr.h') are included
    378 several times (possibly from another header file), `<stdio.h>' and/or
    379 `<stdarg.h>' (or `<varargs.h>') should be included *before the first
    380 inclusion* of `mpfr.h' or `gmp.h'.  Alternatively, you can define
    381 `MPFR_USE_FILE' (for MPFR I/O functions) and/or `MPFR_USE_VA_LIST' (for
    382 MPFR functions with `va_list' parameters) anywhere before the last
    383 inclusion of `mpfr.h'.  As a consequence, if your file is a public
    384 header that includes `mpfr.h', you need to use the latter method.
    385 
    386    When calling a MPFR macro, it is not allowed to have previously
    387 defined a macro with the same name as some keywords (currently `do',
    388 `while' and `sizeof').
    389 
    390    You can avoid the use of MPFR macros encapsulating functions by
    391 defining the `MPFR_USE_NO_MACRO' macro before `mpfr.h' is included.  In
    392 general this should not be necessary, but this can be useful when
    393 debugging user code: with some macros, the compiler may emit spurious
    394 warnings with some warning options, and macros can prevent some
    395 prototype checking.
    396 
    397    All programs using MPFR must link against both `libmpfr' and
    398 `libgmp' libraries.  On a typical Unix-like system this can be done
    399 with `-lmpfr -lgmp' (in that order), for example:
    400 
    401      gcc myprogram.c -lmpfr -lgmp
    402 
    403    MPFR is built using Libtool and an application can use that to link
    404 if desired, *note GNU Libtool: (libtool.info)Top.
    405 
    406    If MPFR has been installed to a non-standard location, then it may be
    407 necessary to set up environment variables such as `C_INCLUDE_PATH' and
    408 `LIBRARY_PATH', or use `-I' and `-L' compiler options, in order to
    409 point to the right directories. For a shared library, it may also be
    410 necessary to set up some sort of run-time library path (e.g.,
    411 `LD_LIBRARY_PATH') on some systems. Please read the `INSTALL' file for
    412 additional information.

    417 4.2 Nomenclature and Types
    418 ==========================
    419 
    420 A "floating-point number", or "float" for short, is an arbitrary
    421 precision significand (also called mantissa) with a limited precision
    422 exponent. The C data type for such objects is `mpfr_t' (internally
    423 defined as a one-element array of a structure, and `mpfr_ptr' is the C
    424 data type representing a pointer to this structure). A floating-point
    425 number can have three special values: Not-a-Number (NaN) or plus or
    426 minus Infinity. NaN represents an uninitialized object, the result of
    427 an invalid operation (like 0 divided by 0), or a value that cannot be
    428 determined (like +Infinity minus +Infinity). Moreover, like in the IEEE
    429 754 standard, zero is signed, i.e., there are both +0 and -0; the
    430 behavior is the same as in the IEEE 754 standard and it is generalized
    431 to the other functions supported by MPFR. Unless documented otherwise,
    432 the sign bit of a NaN is unspecified.
    433 
    434 The "precision" is the number of bits used to represent the significand
    435 of a floating-point number; the corresponding C data type is
    436 `mpfr_prec_t'.  The precision can be any integer between
    437 `MPFR_PREC_MIN' and `MPFR_PREC_MAX'. In the current implementation,
    438 `MPFR_PREC_MIN' is equal to 2.
    439 
    440    Warning! MPFR needs to increase the precision internally, in order to
    441 provide accurate results (and in particular, correct rounding). Do not
    442 attempt to set the precision to any value near `MPFR_PREC_MAX',
    443 otherwise MPFR will abort due to an assertion failure. Moreover, you
    444 may reach some memory limit on your platform, in which case the program
    445 may abort, crash or have undefined behavior (depending on your C
    446 implementation).
    447 
    448 The "rounding mode" specifies the way to round the result of a
    449 floating-point operation, in case the exact result can not be
    450 represented exactly in the destination significand; the corresponding C
    451 data type is `mpfr_rnd_t'.

    456 4.3 MPFR Variable Conventions
    457 =============================
    458 
    459 Before you can assign to an MPFR variable, you need to initialize it by
    460 calling one of the special initialization functions.  When you're done
    461 with a variable, you need to clear it out, using one of the functions
    462 for that purpose.  A variable should only be initialized once, or at
    463 least cleared out between each initialization.  After a variable has
    464 been initialized, it may be assigned to any number of times.  For
    465 efficiency reasons, avoid to initialize and clear out a variable in
    466 loops.  Instead, initialize it before entering the loop, and clear it
    467 out after the loop has exited.  You do not need to be concerned about
    468 allocating additional space for MPFR variables, since any variable has
    469 a significand of fixed size.  Hence unless you change its precision, or
    470 clear and reinitialize it, a floating-point variable will have the same
    471 allocated space during all its life.
    472 
    473    As a general rule, all MPFR functions expect output arguments before
    474 input arguments.  This notation is based on an analogy with the
    475 assignment operator.  MPFR allows you to use the same variable for both
    476 input and output in the same expression.  For example, the main
    477 function for floating-point multiplication, `mpfr_mul', can be used
    478 like this: `mpfr_mul (x, x, x, rnd)'.  This computes the square of X
    479 with rounding mode `rnd' and puts the result back in X.

    483 
    484 4.4 Rounding Modes
    485 ==================
    486 
    487 The following five rounding modes are supported:
    488 
    489    * `MPFR_RNDN': round to nearest (roundTiesToEven in IEEE 754-2008),
    490 
    491    * `MPFR_RNDZ': round toward zero (roundTowardZero in IEEE 754-2008),
    492 
    493    * `MPFR_RNDU': round toward plus infinity (roundTowardPositive in
    494      IEEE 754-2008),
    495 
    496    * `MPFR_RNDD': round toward minus infinity (roundTowardNegative in
    497      IEEE 754-2008),
    498 
    499    * `MPFR_RNDA': round away from zero.
    500 
    501    The `round to nearest' mode works as in the IEEE 754 standard: in
    502 case the number to be rounded lies exactly in the middle of two
    503 representable numbers, it is rounded to the one with the least
    504 significant bit set to zero.  For example, the number 2.5, which is
    505 represented by (10.1) in binary, is rounded to (10.0)=2 with a
    506 precision of two bits, and not to (11.0)=3.  This rule avoids the
    507 "drift" phenomenon mentioned by Knuth in volume 2 of The Art of
    508 Computer Programming (Section 4.2.2).
    509 
    510    Most MPFR functions take as first argument the destination variable,
    511 as second and following arguments the input variables, as last argument
    512 a rounding mode, and have a return value of type `int', called the
    513 "ternary value". The value stored in the destination variable is
    514 correctly rounded, i.e., MPFR behaves as if it computed the result with
    515 an infinite precision, then rounded it to the precision of this
    516 variable.  The input variables are regarded as exact (in particular,
    517 their precision does not affect the result).
    518 
    519    As a consequence, in case of a non-zero real rounded result, the
    520 error on the result is less or equal to 1/2 ulp (unit in the last
    521 place) of that result in the rounding to nearest mode, and less than 1
    522 ulp of that result in the directed rounding modes (a ulp is the weight
    523 of the least significant represented bit of the result after rounding).
    524 
    525    Unless documented otherwise, functions returning an `int' return a
    526 ternary value.  If the ternary value is zero, it means that the value
    527 stored in the destination variable is the exact result of the
    528 corresponding mathematical function. If the ternary value is positive
    529 (resp. negative), it means the value stored in the destination variable
    530 is greater (resp. lower) than the exact result. For example with the
    531 `MPFR_RNDU' rounding mode, the ternary value is usually positive,
    532 except when the result is exact, in which case it is zero. In the case
    533 of an infinite result, it is considered as inexact when it was obtained
    534 by overflow, and exact otherwise. A NaN result (Not-a-Number) always
    535 corresponds to an exact return value.  The opposite of a returned
    536 ternary value is guaranteed to be representable in an `int'.
    537 
    538    Unless documented otherwise, functions returning as result the value
    539 `1' (or any other value specified in this manual) for special cases
    540 (like `acos(0)') yield an overflow or an underflow if that value is not
    541 representable in the current exponent range.

    545 
    546 4.5 Floating-Point Values on Special Numbers
    547 ============================================
    548 
    549 This section specifies the floating-point values (of type `mpfr_t')
    550 returned by MPFR functions (where by "returned" we mean here the
    551 modified value of the destination object, which should not be mixed
    552 with the ternary return value of type `int' of those functions).  For
    553 functions returning several values (like `mpfr_sin_cos'), the rules
    554 apply to each result separately.
    555 
    556    Functions can have one or several input arguments. An input point is
    557 a mapping from these input arguments to the set of the MPFR numbers.
    558 When none of its components are NaN, an input point can also be seen as
    559 a tuple in the extended real numbers (the set of the real numbers with
    560 both infinities).
    561 
    562    When the input point is in the domain of the mathematical function,
    563 the result is rounded as described in Section "Rounding Modes" (but see
    564 below for the specification of the sign of an exact zero). Otherwise
    565 the general rules from this section apply unless stated otherwise in
    566 the description of the MPFR function (*note MPFR Interface::).
    567 
    568    When the input point is not in the domain of the mathematical
    569 function but is in its closure in the extended real numbers and the
    570 function can be extended by continuity, the result is the obtained
    571 limit.  Examples: `mpfr_hypot' on (+Inf,0) gives +Inf. But `mpfr_pow'
    572 cannot be defined on (1,+Inf) using this rule, as one can find
    573 sequences (X_N,Y_N) such that X_N goes to 1, Y_N goes to +Inf and X_N
    574 to the Y_N goes to any positive value when N goes to the infinity.
    575 
    576    When the input point is in the closure of the domain of the
    577 mathematical function and an input argument is +0 (resp. -0), one
    578 considers the limit when the corresponding argument approaches 0 from
    579 above (resp. below). If the limit is not defined (e.g., `mpfr_log' on
    580 -0), the behavior is specified in the description of the MPFR function.
    581 
    582    When the result is equal to 0, its sign is determined by considering
    583 the limit as if the input point were not in the domain: If one
    584 approaches 0 from above (resp. below), the result is +0 (resp. -0); for
    585 example, `mpfr_sin' on +0 gives +0.  In the other cases, the sign is
    586 specified in the description of the MPFR function; for example
    587 `mpfr_max' on -0 and +0 gives +0.
    588 
    589    When the input point is not in the closure of the domain of the
    590 function, the result is NaN. Example: `mpfr_sqrt' on -17 gives NaN.
    591 
    592    When an input argument is NaN, the result is NaN, possibly except
    593 when a partial function is constant on the finite floating-point
    594 numbers; such a case is always explicitly specified in *note MPFR
    595 Interface::.  Example: `mpfr_hypot' on (NaN,0) gives NaN, but
    596 `mpfr_hypot' on (NaN,+Inf) gives +Inf (as specified in *note Special
    597 Functions::), since for any finite input X, `mpfr_hypot' on (X,+Inf)
    598 gives +Inf.

    603 4.6 Exceptions
    604 ==============
    605 
    606 MPFR supports 6 exception types:
    607 
    608    * Underflow: An underflow occurs when the exact result of a function
    609      is a non-zero real number and the result obtained after the
    610      rounding, assuming an unbounded exponent range (for the rounding),
    611      has an exponent smaller than the minimum value of the current
    612      exponent range. (In the round-to-nearest mode, the halfway case is
    613      rounded toward zero.)
    614 
    615      Note: This is not the single possible definition of the underflow.
    616      MPFR chooses to consider the underflow _after_ rounding. The
    617      underflow before rounding can also be defined. For instance,
    618      consider a function that has the exact result 7 multiplied by two
    619      to the power E-4, where E is the smallest exponent (for a
    620      significand between 1/2 and 1), with a 2-bit target precision and
    621      rounding toward plus infinity.  The exact result has the exponent
    622      E-1. With the underflow before rounding, such a function call
    623      would yield an underflow, as E-1 is outside the current exponent
    624      range. However, MPFR first considers the rounded result assuming
    625      an unbounded exponent range.  The exact result cannot be
    626      represented exactly in precision 2, and here, it is rounded to 0.5
    627      times 2 to E, which is representable in the current exponent
    628      range. As a consequence, this will not yield an underflow in MPFR.
    629 
    630    * Overflow: An overflow occurs when the exact result of a function
    631      is a non-zero real number and the result obtained after the
    632      rounding, assuming an unbounded exponent range (for the rounding),
    633      has an exponent larger than the maximum value of the current
    634      exponent range. In the round-to-nearest mode, the result is
    635      infinite.  Note: unlike the underflow case, there is only one
    636      possible definition of overflow here.
    637 
    638    * Divide-by-zero: An exact infinite result is obtained from finite
    639      inputs.
    640 
    641    * NaN: A NaN exception occurs when the result of a function is NaN.
    642 
    643    * Inexact: An inexact exception occurs when the result of a function
    644      cannot be represented exactly and must be rounded.
    645 
    646    * Range error: A range exception occurs when a function that does
    647      not return a MPFR number (such as comparisons and conversions to
    648      an integer) has an invalid result (e.g., an argument is NaN in
    649      `mpfr_cmp', or a conversion to an integer cannot be represented in
    650      the target type).
    651 
    652 
    653    MPFR has a global flag for each exception, which can be cleared, set
    654 or tested by functions described in *note Exception Related Functions::.
    655 
    656    Differences with the ISO C99 standard:
    657 
    658    * In C, only quiet NaNs are specified, and a NaN propagation does not
    659      raise an invalid exception. Unless explicitly stated otherwise,
    660      MPFR sets the NaN flag whenever a NaN is generated, even when a
    661      NaN is propagated (e.g., in NaN + NaN), as if all NaNs were
    662      signaling.
    663 
    664    * An invalid exception in C corresponds to either a NaN exception or
    665      a range error in MPFR.

    671 4.7 Memory Handling
    672 ===================
    673 
    674 MPFR functions may create caches, e.g., when computing constants such
    675 as Pi, either because the user has called a function like
    676 `mpfr_const_pi' directly or because such a function was called
    677 internally by the MPFR library itself to compute some other function.
    678 
    679    At any time, the user can free the various caches with
    680 `mpfr_free_cache'. It is strongly advised to do that before terminating
    681 a thread, or before exiting when using tools like `valgrind' (to avoid
    682 memory leaks being reported).
    683 
    684    MPFR internal data such as flags, the exponent range, the default
    685 precision and rounding mode, and caches (i.e., data that are not
    686 accessed via parameters) are either global (if MPFR has not been
    687 compiled as thread safe) or per-thread (thread local storage, TLS).
    688 The initial values of TLS data after a thread is created entirely
    689 depend on the compiler and thread implementation (MPFR simply does a
    690 conventional variable initialization, the variables being declared with
    691 an implementation-defined TLS specifier).

    696 5 MPFR Interface
    697 ****************
    698 
    699 The floating-point functions expect arguments of type `mpfr_t'.
    700 
    701    The MPFR floating-point functions have an interface that is similar
    702 to the GNU MP functions.  The function prefix for floating-point
    703 operations is `mpfr_'.
    704 
    705    The user has to specify the precision of each variable.  A
    706 computation that assigns a variable will take place with the precision
    707 of the assigned variable; the cost of that computation should not
    708 depend on the precision of variables used as input (on average).
    709 
    710    The semantics of a calculation in MPFR is specified as follows:
    711 Compute the requested operation exactly (with "infinite accuracy"), and
    712 round the result to the precision of the destination variable, with the
    713 given rounding mode.  The MPFR floating-point functions are intended to
    714 be a smooth extension of the IEEE 754 arithmetic. The results obtained
    715 on a given computer are identical to those obtained on a computer with
    716 a different word size, or with a different compiler or operating system.
    717 
    718    MPFR _does not keep track_ of the accuracy of a computation. This is
    719 left to the user or to a higher layer (for example the MPFI library for
    720 interval arithmetic).  As a consequence, if two variables are used to
    721 store only a few significant bits, and their product is stored in a
    722 variable with large precision, then MPFR will still compute the result
    723 with full precision.
    724 
    725    The value of the standard C macro `errno' may be set to non-zero by
    726 any MPFR function or macro, whether or not there is an error.

    750 5.1 Initialization Functions
    751 ============================
    752 
    753 An `mpfr_t' object must be initialized before storing the first value in
    754 it.  The functions `mpfr_init' and `mpfr_init2' are used for that
    755 purpose.
    756 
    757  -- Function: void mpfr_init2 (mpfr_t X, mpfr_prec_t PREC)
    758      Initialize X, set its precision to be *exactly* PREC bits and its
    759      value to NaN. (Warning: the corresponding MPF function initializes
    760      to zero instead.)
    761 
    762      Normally, a variable should be initialized once only or at least
    763      be cleared, using `mpfr_clear', between initializations.  To
    764      change the precision of a variable which has already been
    765      initialized, use `mpfr_set_prec'.  The precision PREC must be an
    766      integer between `MPFR_PREC_MIN' and `MPFR_PREC_MAX' (otherwise the
    767      behavior is undefined).
    768 
    769  -- Function: void mpfr_inits2 (mpfr_prec_t PREC, mpfr_t X, ...)
    770      Initialize all the `mpfr_t' variables of the given variable
    771      argument `va_list', set their precision to be *exactly* PREC bits
    772      and their value to NaN.  See `mpfr_init2' for more details.  The
    773      `va_list' is assumed to be composed only of type `mpfr_t' (or
    774      equivalently `mpfr_ptr').  It begins from X, and ends when it
    775      encounters a null pointer (whose type must also be `mpfr_ptr').
    776 
    777  -- Function: void mpfr_clear (mpfr_t X)
    778      Free the space occupied by the significand of X.  Make sure to
    779      call this function for all `mpfr_t' variables when you are done
    780      with them.
    781

    812      See `mpfr_init' for more details.  The `va_list' is assumed to be
    813      composed only of type `mpfr_t' (or equivalently `mpfr_ptr').  It
    814      begins from X, and ends when it encounters a null pointer (whose

    820 
    821  -- Macro: MPFR_DECL_INIT (NAME, PREC)
    822      This macro declares NAME as an automatic variable of type `mpfr_t',
    823      initializes it and sets its precision to be *exactly* PREC bits
    824      and its value to NaN. NAME must be a valid identifier.  You must
    825      use this macro in the declaration section.  This macro is much
    826      faster than using `mpfr_init2' but has some drawbacks:
    827 
    828         * You *must not* call `mpfr_clear' with variables created with
    829           this macro (the storage is allocated at the point of
    830           declaration and deallocated when the brace-level is exited).
    831 
    832         * You *cannot* change their precision.
    833 
    834         * You *should not* create variables with huge precision with
    835           this macro.
    836 
    837         * Your compiler must support `Non-Constant Initializers'
    838           (standard in C++ and ISO C99) and `Token Pasting' (standard
    839           in ISO C89). If PREC is not a constant expression, your
    840           compiler must support `variable-length automatic arrays'
    841           (standard in ISO C99). GCC 2.95.3 and above supports all
    842           these features.  If you compile your program with GCC in C89
    843           mode and with `-pedantic', you may want to define the
    844           `MPFR_USE_EXTENSION' macro to avoid warnings due to the
    845           `MPFR_DECL_INIT' implementation.
    846 
    847  -- Function: void mpfr_set_default_prec (mpfr_prec_t PREC)
    848      Set the default precision to be *exactly* PREC bits, where PREC
    849      can be any integer between `MPFR_PREC_MIN' and `MPFR_PREC_MAX'.
    850      The precision of a variable means the number of bits used to store
    851      its significand.  All subsequent calls to `mpfr_init' or
    852      `mpfr_inits' will use this precision, but previously initialized
    853      variables are unaffected.  The default precision is set to 53 bits
    854      initially.
    855 
    856      Note: when MPFR is built with the `--enable-thread-safe' configure
    857      option, the default precision is local to each thread. *Note
    858      Memory Handling::, for more information.
    859 
    860  -- Function: mpfr_prec_t mpfr_get_default_prec (void)
    861      Return the current default MPFR precision in bits.  See the
    862      documentation of `mpfr_set_default_prec'.
    863 
    864    Here is an example on how to initialize floating-point variables:
    865 
    866      {
    867        mpfr_t x, y;
    868        mpfr_init (x);                /* use default precision */
    869        mpfr_init2 (y, 256);          /* precision _exactly_ 256 bits */
    870        ...
    871        /* When the program is about to exit, do ... */
    872        mpfr_clear (x);
    873        mpfr_clear (y);
    874        mpfr_free_cache ();           /* free the cache for constants like pi */
    875      }
    876 
    877    The following functions are useful for changing the precision during
    878 a calculation.  A typical use would be for adjusting the precision
    879 gradually in iterative algorithms like Newton-Raphson, making the
    880 computation precision closely match the actual accurate part of the
    881 numbers.
    882 
    883  -- Function: void mpfr_set_prec (mpfr_t X, mpfr_prec_t PREC)
    884      Reset the precision of X to be *exactly* PREC bits, and set its
    885      value to NaN.  The previous value stored in X is lost. It is
    886      equivalent to a call to `mpfr_clear(x)' followed by a call to
    887      `mpfr_init2(x, prec)', but more efficient as no allocation is done
    888      in case the current allocated space for the significand of X is
    889      enough.  The precision PREC can be any integer between
    890      `MPFR_PREC_MIN' and `MPFR_PREC_MAX'.  In case you want to keep the
    891      previous value stored in X, use `mpfr_prec_round' instead.
    892 
    893  -- Function: mpfr_prec_t mpfr_get_prec (mpfr_t X)
    894      Return the precision of X, i.e., the number of bits used to store
    895      its significand.

    920  -- Function: int mpfr_set_f (mpfr_t ROP, mpf_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
    921      Set the value of ROP from OP, rounded toward the given direction
    922      RND.  Note that the input 0 is converted to +0 by `mpfr_set_ui',
    923      `mpfr_set_si', `mpfr_set_uj', `mpfr_set_sj', `mpfr_set_z',
    924      `mpfr_set_q' and `mpfr_set_f', regardless of the rounding mode.
    925      If the system does not support the IEEE 754 standard,
    926      `mpfr_set_flt', `mpfr_set_d', `mpfr_set_ld' and
    927      `mpfr_set_decimal64' might not preserve the signed zeros.  The
    928      `mpfr_set_decimal64' function is built only with the configure
    929      option `--enable-decimal-float', which also requires
    930      `--with-gmp-build', and when the compiler or system provides the
    931      `_Decimal64' data type (recent versions of GCC support this data
    932      type); to use `mpfr_set_decimal64', one should define the macro
    933      `MPFR_WANT_DECIMAL_FLOATS' before including `mpfr.h'.
    934      `mpfr_set_q' might fail if the numerator (or the denominator) can
    935      not be represented as a `mpfr_t'.
    936 
    937      Note: If you want to store a floating-point constant to a `mpfr_t',
    938      you should use `mpfr_set_str' (or one of the MPFR constant
    939      functions, such as `mpfr_const_pi' for Pi) instead of
    940      `mpfr_set_flt', `mpfr_set_d', `mpfr_set_ld' or
    941      `mpfr_set_decimal64'.  Otherwise the floating-point constant will
    942      be first converted into a reduced-precision (e.g., 53-bit) binary
    943      (or decimal, for `mpfr_set_decimal64') number before MPFR can work
    944      with it.

    955           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
    956      Set the value of ROP from OP multiplied by two to the power E,
    957      rounded toward the given direction RND.  Note that the input 0 is
    958      converted to +0.
    959 
    960  -- Function: int mpfr_set_str (mpfr_t ROP, const char *S, int BASE,
    961           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
    962      Set ROP to the value of the string S in base BASE, rounded in the
    963      direction RND.  See the documentation of `mpfr_strtofr' for a
    964      detailed description of the valid string formats.  Contrary to
    965      `mpfr_strtofr', `mpfr_set_str' requires the _whole_ string to
    966      represent a valid floating-point number.
    967 
    968      The meaning of the return value differs from other MPFR functions:
    969      it is 0 if the entire string up to the final null character is a
    970      valid number in base BASE; otherwise it is -1, and ROP may have
    971      changed (users interested in the *note ternary value:: should use
    972      `mpfr_strtofr' instead).
    973 
    974      Note: it is preferable to use `mpfr_set_str' if one wants to
    975      distinguish between an infinite ROP value coming from an infinite
    976      S or from an overflow.
    977 
    978  -- Function: int mpfr_strtofr (mpfr_t ROP, const char *NPTR, char
    979           **ENDPTR, int BASE, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
    980      Read a floating-point number from a string NPTR in base BASE,
    981      rounded in the direction RND; BASE must be either 0 (to detect the
    982      base, as described below) or a number from 2 to 62 (otherwise the
    983      behavior is undefined). If NPTR starts with valid data, the result
    984      is stored in ROP and `*ENDPTR' points to the character just after
    985      the valid data (if ENDPTR is not a null pointer); otherwise ROP is
    986      set to zero (for consistency with `strtod') and the value of NPTR
    987      is stored in the location referenced by ENDPTR (if ENDPTR is not a
    988      null pointer). The usual ternary value is returned.
    989 
    990      Parsing follows the standard C `strtod' function with some
    991      extensions.  After optional leading whitespace, one has a subject
    992      sequence consisting of an optional sign (`+' or `-'), and either
    993      numeric data or special data. The subject sequence is defined as
    994      the longest initial subsequence of the input string, starting with
    995      the first non-whitespace character, that is of the expected form.
    996 
    997      The form of numeric data is a non-empty sequence of significand
    998      digits with an optional decimal point, and an optional exponent
    999      consisting of an exponent prefix followed by an optional sign and
   1000      a non-empty sequence of decimal digits. A significand digit is
   1001      either a decimal digit or a Latin letter (62 possible characters),
   1002      with `A' = 10, `B' = 11, ..., `Z' = 35; case is ignored in bases
   1003      less or equal to 36, in bases larger than 36, `a' = 36, `b' = 37,
   1004      ..., `z' = 61.  The value of a significand digit must be strictly
   1005      less than the base.  The decimal point can be either the one
   1006      defined by the current locale or the period (the first one is
   1007      accepted for consistency with the C standard and the practice, the
   1008      second one is accepted to allow the programmer to provide MPFR
   1009      numbers from strings in a way that does not depend on the current
   1010      locale).  The exponent prefix can be `e' or `E' for bases up to
   1011      10, or `@' in any base; it indicates a multiplication by a power
   1012      of the base. In bases 2 and 16, the exponent prefix can also be
   1013      `p' or `P', in which case the exponent, called _binary exponent_,
   1014      indicates a multiplication by a power of 2 instead of the base
   1015      (there is a difference only for base 16); in base 16 for example
   1016      `1p2' represents 4 whereas `1@2' represents 256. The value of an
   1017      exponent is always written in base 10.
   1018 
   1019      If the argument BASE is 0, then the base is automatically detected
   1020      as follows. If the significand starts with `0b' or `0B', base 2 is
   1021      assumed. If the significand starts with `0x' or `0X', base 16 is
   1022      assumed. Otherwise base 10 is assumed.
   1023 
   1024      Note: The exponent (if present) must contain at least a digit.
   1025      Otherwise the possible exponent prefix and sign are not part of
   1026      the number (which ends with the significand). Similarly, if `0b',
   1027      `0B', `0x' or `0X' is not followed by a binary/hexadecimal digit,
   1028      then the subject sequence stops at the character `0', thus 0 is
   1029      read.
   1030 
   1031      Special data (for infinities and NaN) can be `@inf@' or
   1032      `@nan@(n-char-sequence-opt)', and if BASE <= 16, it can also be
   1033      `infinity', `inf', `nan' or `nan(n-char-sequence-opt)', all case
   1034      insensitive.  A `n-char-sequence-opt' is a possibly empty string
   1035      containing only digits, Latin letters and the underscore (0, 1, 2,
   1036      ..., 9, a, b, ..., z, A, B, ..., Z, _). Note: one has an optional
   1037      sign for all data, even NaN.  For example,
   1038      `-@nAn@(This_Is_Not_17)' is a valid representation for NaN in base
   1039      17.

   1085 5.4 Conversion Functions
   1086 ========================
   1087 
   1088  -- Function: float mpfr_get_flt (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1089  -- Function: double mpfr_get_d (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1090  -- Function: long double mpfr_get_ld (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1091  -- Function: _Decimal64 mpfr_get_decimal64 (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1092      Convert OP to a `float' (respectively `double', `long double' or
   1093      `_Decimal64'), using the rounding mode RND.  If OP is NaN, some
   1094      fixed NaN (either quiet or signaling) or the result of 0.0/0.0 is
   1095      returned. If OP is Inf, an infinity of the same sign or the
   1096      result of 1.0/0.0 is returned. If OP is zero, these functions
   1097      return a zero, trying to preserve its sign, if possible.  The
   1098      `mpfr_get_decimal64' function is built only under some conditions:
   1099      see the documentation of `mpfr_set_decimal64'.
   1100 
   1101  -- Function: long mpfr_get_si (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1102  -- Function: unsigned long mpfr_get_ui (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1103  -- Function: intmax_t mpfr_get_sj (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1104  -- Function: uintmax_t mpfr_get_uj (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1105      Convert OP to a `long', an `unsigned long', an `intmax_t' or an
   1106      `uintmax_t' (respectively) after rounding it with respect to RND.
   1107      If OP is NaN, 0 is returned and the _erange_ flag is set.  If OP
   1108      is too big for the return type, the function returns the maximum
   1109      or the minimum of the corresponding C type, depending on the
   1110      direction of the overflow; the _erange_ flag is set too.  See also
   1111      `mpfr_fits_slong_p', `mpfr_fits_ulong_p', `mpfr_fits_intmax_p' and
   1112      `mpfr_fits_uintmax_p'.
   1113 
   1114  -- Function: double mpfr_get_d_2exp (long *EXP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t
   1115           RND)
   1116  -- Function: long double mpfr_get_ld_2exp (long *EXP, mpfr_t OP,
   1117           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1118      Return D and set EXP (formally, the value pointed to by EXP) such
   1119      that 0.5<=abs(D)<1 and D times 2 raised to EXP equals OP rounded
   1120      to double (resp. long double) precision, using the given rounding
   1121      mode.  If OP is zero, then a zero of the same sign (or an unsigned
   1122      zero, if the implementation does not have signed zeros) is
   1123      returned, and EXP is set to 0.  If OP is NaN or an infinity, then
   1124      the corresponding double precision (resp. long-double precision)
   1125      value is returned, and EXP is undefined.
   1126 
   1127  -- Function: int mpfr_frexp (mpfr_exp_t *EXP, mpfr_t Y, mpfr_t X,
   1128           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1129      Set EXP (formally, the value pointed to by EXP) and Y such that
   1130      0.5<=abs(Y)<1 and Y times 2 raised to EXP equals X rounded to the
   1131      precision of Y, using the given rounding mode.  If X is zero, then
   1132      Y is set to a zero of the same sign and EXP is set to 0.  If X is
   1133      NaN or an infinity, then Y is set to the same value and EXP is
   1134      undefined.
   1135 
   1136  -- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_z_2exp (mpz_t ROP, mpfr_t OP)
   1137      Put the scaled significand of OP (regarded as an integer, with the
   1138      precision of OP) into ROP, and return the exponent EXP (which may
   1139      be outside the current exponent range) such that OP exactly equals
   1140      ROP times 2 raised to the power EXP.  If OP is zero, the minimal
   1141      exponent `emin' is returned.  If OP is NaN or an infinity, the
   1142      _erange_ flag is set, ROP is set to 0, and the the minimal
   1143      exponent `emin' is returned.  The returned exponent may be less
   1144      than the minimal exponent `emin' of MPFR numbers in the current
   1145      exponent range; in case the exponent is not representable in the
   1146      `mpfr_exp_t' type, the _erange_ flag is set and the minimal value
   1147      of the `mpfr_exp_t' type is returned.
   1148 
   1149  -- Function: int mpfr_get_z (mpz_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1150      Convert OP to a `mpz_t', after rounding it with respect to RND. If
   1151      OP is NaN or an infinity, the _erange_ flag is set, ROP is set to
   1152      0, and 0 is returned.
   1153 
   1154  -- Function: int mpfr_get_f (mpf_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1155      Convert OP to a `mpf_t', after rounding it with respect to RND.
   1156      The _erange_ flag is set if OP is NaN or an infinity, which do not
   1157      exist in MPF.  If OP is NaN, then ROP is undefined.  If OP is an
   1158      +Inf (resp. -Inf), then ROP is set to the maximum (resp. minimum)
   1159      value in the precision of the MPF number; if a future MPF version
   1160      supports infinities, this behavior will be considered incorrect
   1161      and will change (portable programs should assume that ROP is set
   1162      either to this finite number or to an infinite number).  Note that
   1163      since MPFR currently has the same exponent type as MPF (but not
   1164      with the same radix), the range of values is much larger in MPF
   1165      than in MPFR, so that an overflow or underflow is not possible.
   1166 
   1167  -- Function: char * mpfr_get_str (char *STR, mpfr_exp_t *EXPPTR, int
   1168           B, size_t N, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1169      Convert OP to a string of digits in base B, with rounding in the
   1170      direction RND, where N is either zero (see below) or the number of
   1171      significant digits output in the string; in the latter case, N
   1172      must be greater or equal to 2. The base may vary from 2 to 62.  If
   1173      the input number is an ordinary number, the exponent is written
   1174      through the pointer EXPPTR (for input 0, the current minimal
   1175      exponent is written).
   1176 
   1177      The generated string is a fraction, with an implicit radix point
   1178      immediately to the left of the first digit.  For example, the
   1179      number -3.1416 would be returned as "-31416" in the string and 1
   1180      written at EXPPTR.  If RND is to nearest, and OP is exactly in the
   1181      middle of two consecutive possible outputs, the one with an even
   1182      significand is chosen, where both significands are considered with
   1183      the exponent of OP.  Note that for an odd base, this may not
   1184      correspond to an even last digit: for example with 2 digits in
   1185      base 7, (14) and a half is rounded to (15) which is 12 in decimal,
   1186      (16) and a half is rounded to (20) which is 14 in decimal, and
   1187      (26) and a half is rounded to (26) which is 20 in decimal.
   1188 
   1189      If N is zero, the number of digits of the significand is chosen
   1190      large enough so that re-reading the printed value with the same
   1191      precision, assuming both output and input use rounding to nearest,
   1192      will recover the original value of OP.  More precisely, in most
   1193      cases, the chosen precision of STR is the minimal precision m
   1194      depending only on P = PREC(OP) and B that satisfies the above
   1195      property, i.e., m = 1 + ceil(P*log(2)/log(B)), with P replaced by
   1196      P-1 if B is a power of 2, but in some very rare cases, it might be
   1197      m+1 (the smallest case for bases up to 62 is when P equals
   1198      186564318007 for bases 7 and 49).
   1199 
   1200      If STR is a null pointer, space for the significand is allocated
   1201      using the current allocation function, and a pointer to the string
   1202      is returned.  To free the returned string, you must use
   1203      `mpfr_free_str'.
   1204 
   1205      If STR is not a null pointer, it should point to a block of storage
   1206      large enough for the significand, i.e., at least `max(N + 2, 7)'.
   1207      The extra two bytes are for a possible minus sign, and for the
   1208      terminating null character, and the value 7 accounts for `-@Inf@'
   1209      plus the terminating null character.
   1210 
   1211      A pointer to the string is returned, unless there is an error, in
   1212      which case a null pointer is returned.
   1213 
   1214  -- Function: void mpfr_free_str (char *STR)
   1215      Free a string allocated by `mpfr_get_str' using the current
   1216      unallocation function.  The block is assumed to be `strlen(STR)+1'
   1217      bytes.  For more information about how it is done: *note Custom
   1218      Allocation: (gmp.info)Custom Allocation.

   1227  -- Function: int mpfr_fits_intmax_p (mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1228      Return non-zero if OP would fit in the respective C data type,
   1229      respectively `unsigned long', `long', `unsigned int', `int',
   1230      `unsigned short', `short', `uintmax_t', `intmax_t', when rounded
   1231      to an integer in the direction RND.

   1250           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1251      Set ROP to OP1 + OP2 rounded in the direction RND. For types
   1252      having no signed zero, it is considered unsigned (i.e., (+0) + 0 =
   1253      (+0) and (-0) + 0 = (-0)).  The `mpfr_add_d' function assumes that
   1254      the radix of the `double' type is a power of 2, with a precision
   1255      at most that declared by the C implementation (macro
   1256      `IEEE_DBL_MANT_DIG', and if not defined 53 bits).

   1277           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1278      Set ROP to OP1 - OP2 rounded in the direction RND. For types
   1279      having no signed zero, it is considered unsigned (i.e., (+0) - 0 =
   1280      (+0), (-0) - 0 = (-0), 0 - (+0) = (-0) and 0 - (-0) = (+0)).  The
   1281      same restrictions than for `mpfr_add_d' apply to `mpfr_d_sub' and
   1282      `mpfr_sub_d'.

   1295           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1296      Set ROP to OP1 times OP2 rounded in the direction RND.  When a
   1297      result is zero, its sign is the product of the signs of the
   1298      operands (for types having no signed zero, it is considered
   1299      positive).  The same restrictions than for `mpfr_add_d' apply to

   1322           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1323      Set ROP to OP1/OP2 rounded in the direction RND.  When a result is
   1324      zero, its sign is the product of the signs of the operands (for
   1325      types having no signed zero, it is considered positive).  The same
   1326      restrictions than for `mpfr_add_d' apply to `mpfr_d_div' and

   1332      Set ROP to the square root of OP rounded in the direction RND (set
   1333      ROP to -0 if OP is -0, to be consistent with the IEEE 754
   1334      standard).  Set ROP to NaN if OP is negative.

   1337      Set ROP to the reciprocal square root of OP rounded in the

   1339      NaN if OP is negative.

   1343           K, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1344      Set ROP to the cubic root (resp. the Kth root) of OP rounded in
   1345      the direction RND.  For K odd (resp. even) and OP negative
   1346      (including -Inf), set ROP to a negative number (resp. NaN).  The
   1347      Kth root of -0 is defined to be -0, whatever the parity of K.

   1448      Compare OP1 and OP2.  Return a positive value if OP1 > OP2, zero
   1449      if OP1 = OP2, and a negative value if OP1 < OP2.  Both OP1 and OP2
   1450      are considered to their full own precision, which may differ.  If
   1451      one of the operands is NaN, set the _erange_ flag and return zero.
   1452 
   1453      Note: These functions may be useful to distinguish the three
   1454      possible cases.  If you need to distinguish two cases only, it is
   1455      recommended to use the predicate functions (e.g., `mpfr_equal_p'
   1456      for the equality) described below; they behave like the IEEE 754
   1457      comparisons, in particular when one or both arguments are NaN. But
   1458      only floating-point numbers can be compared (you may need to do a

   1519    Important note: in some domains, computing special functions (either

   1548      both results are exact, more precisely it returns s+4c where s=0
   1549      if SOP is exact, s=1 if SOP is larger than the sine of OP, s=2 if
   1550      SOP is smaller than the sine of OP, and similarly for c and the

   1565      rounding mode, this number might not be in the output range 0 <=
   1566      ROP < \pi of the arc-cosine function; still, the result lies in
   1567      the image of the output range by the rounding function.  The same
   1568      holds for `asin(-1)', `asin(1)', `atan(-Inf)', `atan(+Inf)' or for

   1576      As for `atan', in case the exact mathematical result is +Pi or -Pi,
   1577      its rounded result might be outside the function output range.

   1658      Set ROP to the exponential of OP followed by a subtraction by one,
   1659      rounded in the direction RND.
   1660 
   1661  -- Function: int mpfr_eint (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1662      Set ROP to the exponential integral of OP, rounded in the
   1663      direction RND.  For positive OP, the exponential integral is the
   1664      sum of Euler's constant, of the logarithm of OP, and of the sum
   1665      for k from 1 to infinity of OP to the power k, divided by k and
   1666      factorial(k).  For negative OP, ROP is set to NaN (this definition
   1667      for negative argument follows formula 5.1.2 from the Handbook of
   1668      Mathematical Functions from Abramowitz and Stegun, a future
   1669      version might use another definition).
   1670 
   1671  -- Function: int mpfr_li2 (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1672      Set ROP to real part of the dilogarithm of OP, rounded in the
   1673      direction RND. MPFR defines the dilogarithm function as the
   1674      integral of -log(1-t)/t from 0 to OP.
   1675 
   1676  -- Function: int mpfr_gamma (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1677      Set ROP to the value of the Gamma function on OP, rounded in the
   1678      direction RND. When OP is a negative integer, ROP is set to NaN.
   1679 
   1680  -- Function: int mpfr_lngamma (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1681      Set ROP to the value of the logarithm of the Gamma function on OP,
   1682      rounded in the direction RND.  When -2K-1 <= OP <= -2K, K being a
   1683      non-negative integer, ROP is set to NaN.  See also `mpfr_lgamma'.
   1684 
   1685  -- Function: int mpfr_lgamma (mpfr_t ROP, int *SIGNP, mpfr_t OP,
   1686           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1687      Set ROP to the value of the logarithm of the absolute value of the
   1688      Gamma function on OP, rounded in the direction RND. The sign (1 or
   1689      -1) of Gamma(OP) is returned in the object pointed to by SIGNP.
   1690      When OP is an infinity or a non-positive integer, set ROP to +Inf.
   1691      When OP is NaN, -Inf or a negative integer, *SIGNP is undefined,
   1692      and when OP is 0, *SIGNP is the sign of the zero.
   1693 
   1694  -- Function: int mpfr_digamma (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1695      Set ROP to the value of the Digamma (sometimes also called Psi)
   1696      function on OP, rounded in the direction RND.  When OP is a
   1697      negative integer, set ROP to NaN.

   1712  -- Function: int mpfr_jn (mpfr_t ROP, long N, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t
   1713           RND)
   1714      Set ROP to the value of the first kind Bessel function of order 0,
   1715      (resp. 1 and N) on OP, rounded in the direction RND. When OP is
   1716      NaN, ROP is always set to NaN. When OP is plus or minus Infinity,
   1717      ROP is set to +0. When OP is zero, and N is not zero, ROP is set
   1718      to +0 or -0 depending on the parity and sign of N, and the sign of
   1719      OP.

   1725      Set ROP to the value of the second kind Bessel function of order 0
   1726      (resp. 1 and N) on OP, rounded in the direction RND. When OP is
   1727      NaN or negative, ROP is always set to NaN. When OP is +Inf, ROP is
   1728      set to +0. When OP is zero, ROP is set to +Inf or -Inf depending

   1736      rounded in the direction RND.
   1737

   1739           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1740      Set ROP to the arithmetic-geometric mean of OP1 and OP2, rounded
   1741      in the direction RND.  The arithmetic-geometric mean is the common
   1742      limit of the sequences U_N and V_N, where U_0=OP1, V_0=OP2,
   1743      U_(N+1) is the arithmetic mean of U_N and V_N, and V_(N+1) is the
   1744      geometric mean of U_N and V_N.  If any operand is negative, set
   1745      ROP to NaN.
   1746 
   1747  -- Function: int mpfr_hypot (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t X, mpfr_t Y,
   1748           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1749      Set ROP to the Euclidean norm of X and Y, i.e., the square root of
   1750      the sum of the squares of X and Y, rounded in the direction RND.
   1751      Special values are handled as described in Section F.9.4.3 of the
   1752      ISO C99 and IEEE 754-2008 standards: If X or Y is an infinity,
   1753      then +Inf is returned in ROP, even if the other number is NaN.
   1754 
   1755  -- Function: int mpfr_ai (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t X, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1756      Set ROP to the value of the Airy function Ai  on X, rounded in the
   1757      direction RND.  When X is NaN, ROP is always set to NaN. When X is
   1758      +Inf or -Inf, ROP is +0.  The current implementation is not
   1759      intended to be used with large arguments.  It works with abs(X)
   1760      typically smaller than 500. For larger arguments, other methods
   1761      should be used and will be implemented in a future version.

   1766  -- Function: int mpfr_const_catalan (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1767      Set ROP to the logarithm of 2, the value of Pi, of Euler's
   1768      constant 0.577..., of Catalan's constant 0.915..., respectively,
   1769      rounded in the direction RND. These functions cache the computed
   1770      values to avoid other calculations if a lower or equal precision
   1771      is requested. To free these caches, use `mpfr_free_cache'.
   1772 
   1773  -- Function: void mpfr_free_cache (void)
   1774      Free various caches used by MPFR internally, in particular the
   1775      caches used by the functions computing constants
   1776      (`mpfr_const_log2', `mpfr_const_pi', `mpfr_const_euler' and
   1777      `mpfr_const_catalan').  You should call this function before
   1778      terminating a thread, even if you did not call these functions
   1779      directly (they could have been called internally).
   1780 
   1781  -- Function: int mpfr_sum (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_ptr const TAB[], unsigned
   1782           long int N, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1783      Set ROP to the sum of all elements of TAB, whose size is N,
   1784      rounded in the direction RND. Warning: for efficiency reasons, TAB
   1785      is an array of pointers to `mpfr_t', not an array of `mpfr_t'.  If
   1786      the returned `int' value is zero, ROP is guaranteed to be the
   1787      exact sum; otherwise ROP might be smaller than, equal to, or
   1788      larger than the exact sum (in accordance to the rounding mode).
   1789      However, `mpfr_sum' does guarantee the result is correctly rounded.

   1794 5.8 Input and Output Functions
   1795 ==============================
   1796 
   1797 This section describes functions that perform input from an input/output
   1798 stream, and functions that output to an input/output stream.  Passing a
   1799 null pointer for a `stream' to any of these functions will make them
   1800 read from `stdin' and write to `stdout', respectively.
   1801 
   1802    When using any of these functions, you must include the `<stdio.h>'
   1803 standard header before `mpfr.h', to allow `mpfr.h' to define prototypes
   1804 for these functions.
   1805 
   1806  -- Function: size_t mpfr_out_str (FILE *STREAM, int BASE, size_t N,
   1807           mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1808      Output OP on stream STREAM, as a string of digits in base BASE,
   1809      rounded in the direction RND.  The base may vary from 2 to 62.
   1810      Print N significant digits exactly, or if N is 0, enough digits so
   1811      that OP can be read back exactly (see `mpfr_get_str').
   1812 
   1813      In addition to the significant digits, a decimal point (defined by
   1814      the current locale) at the right of the first digit and a trailing
   1815      exponent in base 10, in the form `eNNN', are printed. If BASE is
   1816      greater than 10, `@' will be used instead of `e' as exponent
   1817      delimiter.
   1818 
   1819      Return the number of characters written, or if an error occurred,
   1820      return 0.
   1821 
   1822  -- Function: size_t mpfr_inp_str (mpfr_t ROP, FILE *STREAM, int BASE,
   1823           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   1824      Input a string in base BASE from stream STREAM, rounded in the
   1825      direction RND, and put the read float in ROP.
   1826 
   1827      This function reads a word (defined as a sequence of characters
   1828      between whitespace) and parses it using `mpfr_set_str'.  See the
   1829      documentation of `mpfr_strtofr' for a detailed description of the
   1830      valid string formats.
   1831 
   1832      Return the number of bytes read, or if an error occurred, return 0.

   1837 5.9 Formatted Output Functions
   1838 ==============================
   1839 
   1840 5.9.1 Requirements
   1841 ------------------
   1842 
   1843 The class of `mpfr_printf' functions provides formatted output in a
   1844 similar manner as the standard C `printf'. These functions are defined
   1845 only if your system supports ISO C variadic functions and the
   1846 corresponding argument access macros.
   1847 
   1848    When using any of these functions, you must include the `<stdio.h>'
   1849 standard header before `mpfr.h', to allow `mpfr.h' to define prototypes
   1850 for these functions.
   1851 
   1852 5.9.2 Format String
   1853 -------------------
   1854 
   1855 The format specification accepted by `mpfr_printf' is an extension of
   1856 the `printf' one. The conversion specification is of the form:
   1857      % [flags] [width] [.[precision]] [type] [rounding] conv
   1858    `flags', `width', and `precision' have the same meaning as for the
   1859 standard `printf' (in particular, notice that the `precision' is
   1860 related to the number of digits displayed in the base chosen by `conv'
   1861 and not related to the internal precision of the `mpfr_t' variable).
   1862 `mpfr_printf' accepts the same `type' specifiers as GMP (except the
   1863 non-standard and deprecated `q', use `ll' instead), namely the length
   1864 modifiers defined in the C standard:
   1865 
   1866      `h'       `short'
   1867      `hh'      `char'
   1868      `j'       `intmax_t' or `uintmax_t'
   1869      `l'       `long' or `wchar_t'
   1870      `ll'      `long long'
   1871      `L'       `long double'
   1872      `t'       `ptrdiff_t'
   1873      `z'       `size_t'
   1874 
   1875    and the `type' specifiers defined in GMP plus `R' and `P' specific
   1876 to MPFR (the second column in the table below shows the type of the
   1877 argument read in the argument list and the kind of `conv' specifier to
   1878 use after the `type' specifier):
   1879 
   1880      `F'       `mpf_t', float conversions
   1881      `Q'       `mpq_t', integer conversions
   1882      `M'       `mp_limb_t', integer conversions
   1883      `N'       `mp_limb_t' array, integer conversions
   1884      `Z'       `mpz_t', integer conversions
   1885      `P'       `mpfr_prec_t', integer conversions
   1886      `R'       `mpfr_t', float conversions
   1887 
   1888    The `type' specifiers have the same restrictions as those mentioned
   1889 in the GMP documentation: *note Formatted Output Strings:
   1890 (gmp.info)Formatted Output Strings.  In particular, the `type'
   1891 specifiers (except `R' and `P') are supported only if they are
   1892 supported by `gmp_printf' in your GMP build; this implies that the
   1893 standard specifiers, such as `t', must _also_ be supported by your C
   1894 library if you want to use them.
   1895 
   1896    The `rounding' field is specific to `mpfr_t' arguments and should
   1897 not be used with other types.
   1898 
   1899    With conversion specification not involving `P' and `R' types,
   1900 `mpfr_printf' behaves exactly as `gmp_printf'.
   1901 
   1902    The `P' type specifies that a following `o', `u', `x', or `X'
   1903 conversion specifier applies to a `mpfr_prec_t' argument.  It is needed
   1904 because the `mpfr_prec_t' type does not necessarily correspond to an
   1905 `unsigned int' or any fixed standard type.  The `precision' field
   1906 specifies the minimum number of digits to appear. The default
   1907 `precision' is 1.  For example:
   1908      mpfr_t x;
   1909      mpfr_prec_t p;
   1910      mpfr_init (x);
   1911      ...
   1912      p = mpfr_get_prec (x);
   1913      mpfr_printf ("variable x with %Pu bits", p);
   1914 
   1915    The `R' type specifies that a following `a', `A', `b', `e', `E',
   1916 `f', `F', `g', `G', or `n' conversion specifier applies to a `mpfr_t'
   1917 argument.  The `R' type can be followed by a `rounding' specifier
   1918 denoted by one of the following characters:
   1919 
   1920      `U'       round toward plus infinity
   1921      `D'       round toward minus infinity
   1922      `Y'       round away from zero
   1923      `Z'       round toward zero
   1924      `N'       round to nearest (with ties to even)
   1925      `*'       rounding mode indicated by the
   1926                `mpfr_rnd_t' argument just before the
   1927                corresponding `mpfr_t' variable.
   1928 
   1929    The default rounding mode is rounding to nearest.  The following
   1930 three examples are equivalent:
   1931      mpfr_t x;
   1932      mpfr_init (x);
   1933      ...
   1934      mpfr_printf ("%.128Rf", x);
   1935      mpfr_printf ("%.128RNf", x);
   1936      mpfr_printf ("%.128R*f", MPFR_RNDN, x);
   1937 
   1938    Note that the rounding away from zero mode is specified with `Y'
   1939 because ISO C reserves the `A' specifier for hexadecimal output (see
   1940 below).
   1941 
   1942    The output `conv' specifiers allowed with `mpfr_t' parameter are:
   1943 
   1944      `a' `A'   hex float, C99 style
   1945      `b'       binary output
   1946      `e' `E'   scientific format float
   1947      `f' `F'   fixed point float
   1948      `g' `G'   fixed or scientific float
   1949 
   1950    The conversion specifier `b' which displays the argument in binary is
   1951 specific to `mpfr_t' arguments and should not be used with other types.
   1952 Other conversion specifiers have the same meaning as for a `double'
   1953 argument.
   1954 
   1955    In case of non-decimal output, only the significand is written in the
   1956 specified base, the exponent is always displayed in decimal.  Special
   1957 values are always displayed as `nan', `-inf', and `inf' for `a', `b',
   1958 `e', `f', and `g' specifiers and `NAN', `-INF', and `INF' for `A', `E',
   1959 `F', and `G' specifiers.
   1960 
   1961    If the `precision' field is not empty, the `mpfr_t' number is
   1962 rounded to the given precision in the direction specified by the
   1963 rounding mode.  If the precision is zero with rounding to nearest mode
   1964 and one of the following `conv' specifiers: `a', `A', `b', `e', `E',
   1965 tie case is rounded to even when it lies between two consecutive values
   1966 at the wanted precision which have the same exponent, otherwise, it is
   1967 rounded away from zero.  For instance, 85 is displayed as "8e+1" and 95
   1968 is displayed as "1e+2" with the format specification `"%.0RNe"'.  This
   1969 also applies when the `g' (resp. `G') conversion specifier uses the `e'
   1970 (resp. `E') style.  If the precision is set to a value greater than the
   1971 maximum value for an `int', it will be silently reduced down to
   1972 `INT_MAX'.
   1973 
   1974    If the `precision' field is empty (as in `%Re' or `%.RE') with

   1985 For all the following functions, if the number of characters which
   1986 ought to be written appears to exceed the maximum limit for an `int',
   1987 nothing is written in the stream (resp. to `stdout', to BUF, to STR),
   1988 the function returns -1, sets the _erange_ flag, and (in POSIX system
   1989 only) `errno' is set to `EOVERFLOW'.

   1992  -- Function: int mpfr_vfprintf (FILE *STREAM, const char *TEMPLATE,

   1994      Print to the stream STREAM the optional arguments under the
   1995      control of the template string TEMPLATE.  Return the number of
   1996      characters written or a negative value if an error occurred.
   1997 
   1998  -- Function: int mpfr_printf (const char *TEMPLATE, ...)

   2005  -- Function: int mpfr_vsprintf (char *BUF, const char *TEMPLATE,

   2007      Form a null-terminated string corresponding to the optional
   2008      arguments under the control of the template string TEMPLATE, and
   2009      print it in BUF. No overlap is permitted between BUF and the other
   2010      arguments.  Return the number of characters written in the array
   2011      BUF _not counting_ the terminating null character or a negative
   2012      value if an error occurred.

   2020      print it in BUF. If N is zero, nothing is written and BUF may be a
   2021      null pointer, otherwise, the N-1 first characters are written in
   2022      BUF and the N-th is a null character.  Return the number of
   2023      characters that would have been written had N be sufficiently
   2024      large, _not counting_ the terminating null character, or a
   2025      negative value if an error occurred.

   2031      memory allocated using the current allocation function. A pointer
   2032      to the block is stored in STR. The block of memory must be freed
   2033      using `mpfr_free_str'.  The return value is the number of

   2041 ============================================
   2042 
   2043  -- Function: int mpfr_rint (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2044  -- Function: int mpfr_ceil (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP)
   2045  -- Function: int mpfr_floor (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP)
   2046  -- Function: int mpfr_round (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP)
   2047  -- Function: int mpfr_trunc (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP)
   2048      Set ROP to OP rounded to an integer.  `mpfr_rint' rounds to the
   2049      nearest representable integer in the given direction RND,
   2050      `mpfr_ceil' rounds to the next higher or equal representable
   2051      integer, `mpfr_floor' to the next lower or equal representable
   2052      integer, `mpfr_round' to the nearest representable integer,
   2053      rounding halfway cases away from zero (as in the roundTiesToAway
   2054      mode of IEEE 754-2008), and `mpfr_trunc' to the next representable
   2055      integer toward zero.
   2056 
   2057      The returned value is zero when the result is exact, positive when
   2058      it is greater than the original value of OP, and negative when it
   2059      is smaller.  More precisely, the returned value is 0 when OP is an
   2060      integer representable in ROP, 1 or -1 when OP is an integer that
   2061      is not representable in ROP, 2 or -2 when OP is not an integer.
   2062 
   2063      Note that `mpfr_round' is different from `mpfr_rint' called with
   2064      the rounding to nearest mode (where halfway cases are rounded to
   2065      an even integer or significand). Note also that no double rounding
   2066      is performed; for instance, 10.5 (1010.1 in binary) is rounded by
   2067      `mpfr_rint' with rounding to nearest to 12 (1100 in binary) in
   2068      2-bit precision, because the two enclosing numbers representable
   2069      on two bits are 8 and 12, and the closest is 12.  (If one first
   2070      rounded to an integer, one would round 10.5 to 10 with even
   2071      rounding, and then 10 would be rounded to 8 again with even
   2072      rounding.)
   2073 
   2074  -- Function: int mpfr_rint_ceil (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2075  -- Function: int mpfr_rint_floor (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t
   2076           RND)
   2077  -- Function: int mpfr_rint_round (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t
   2078           RND)
   2079  -- Function: int mpfr_rint_trunc (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t
   2080           RND)
   2081      Set ROP to OP rounded to an integer.  `mpfr_rint_ceil' rounds to
   2082      the next higher or equal integer, `mpfr_rint_floor' to the next
   2083      lower or equal integer, `mpfr_rint_round' to the nearest integer,
   2084      rounding halfway cases away from zero, and `mpfr_rint_trunc' to
   2085      the next integer toward zero.  If the result is not representable,
   2086      it is rounded in the direction RND.  The returned value is the
   2087      ternary value associated with the considered round-to-integer
   2088      function (regarded in the same way as any other mathematical
   2089      function).  Contrary to `mpfr_rint', those functions do perform a
   2090      double rounding: first OP is rounded to the nearest integer in the
   2091      direction given by the function name, then this nearest integer
   2092      (if not representable) is rounded in the given direction RND.  For
   2093      example, `mpfr_rint_round' with rounding to nearest and a precision
   2094      of two bits rounds 6.5 to 7 (halfway cases away from zero), then 7
   2095      is rounded to 8 by the round-even rule, despite the fact that 6 is
   2096      also representable on two bits, and is closer to 6.5 than 8.
   2097 
   2098  -- Function: int mpfr_frac (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2099      Set ROP to the fractional part of OP, having the same sign as OP,
   2100      rounded in the direction RND (unlike in `mpfr_rint', RND affects
   2101      only how the exact fractional part is rounded, not how the
   2102      fractional part is generated).
   2103 
   2104  -- Function: int mpfr_modf (mpfr_t IOP, mpfr_t FOP, mpfr_t OP,
   2105           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2106      Set simultaneously IOP to the integral part of OP and FOP to the
   2107      fractional part of OP, rounded in the direction RND with the
   2108      corresponding precision of IOP and FOP (equivalent to
   2109      `mpfr_trunc(IOP, OP, RND)' and `mpfr_frac(FOP, OP, RND)'). The
   2110      variables IOP and FOP must be different. Return 0 iff both results
   2111      are exact (see `mpfr_sin_cos' for a more detailed description of
   2112      the return value).
   2113 
   2114  -- Function: int mpfr_fmod (mpfr_t R, mpfr_t X, mpfr_t Y, mpfr_rnd_t
   2115           RND)
   2116  -- Function: int mpfr_remainder (mpfr_t R, mpfr_t X, mpfr_t Y,
   2117           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2118  -- Function: int mpfr_remquo (mpfr_t R, long* Q, mpfr_t X, mpfr_t Y,
   2119           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2120      Set R to the value of X - NY, rounded according to the direction
   2121      RND, where N is the integer quotient of X divided by Y, defined as
   2122      follows: N is rounded toward zero for `mpfr_fmod', and to the
   2123      nearest integer (ties rounded to even) for `mpfr_remainder' and
   2124      `mpfr_remquo'.
   2125 
   2126      Special values are handled as described in Section F.9.7.1 of the
   2127      ISO C99 standard: If X is infinite or Y is zero, R is NaN.  If Y
   2128      is infinite and X is finite, R is X rounded to the precision of R.
   2129      If R is zero, it has the sign of X.  The return value is the
   2130      ternary value corresponding to R.
   2131 
   2132      Additionally, `mpfr_remquo' stores the low significant bits from
   2133      the quotient N in *Q (more precisely the number of bits in a
   2134      `long' minus one), with the sign of X divided by Y (except if
   2135      those low bits are all zero, in which case zero is returned).
   2136      Note that X may be so large in magnitude relative to Y that an
   2137      exact representation of the quotient is not practical.  The
   2138      `mpfr_remainder' and `mpfr_remquo' functions are useful for
   2139      additive argument reduction.

   2150  -- Function: void mpfr_set_default_rounding_mode (mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2151      Set the default rounding mode to RND.  The default rounding mode
   2152      is to nearest initially.
   2153 
   2154  -- Function: mpfr_rnd_t mpfr_get_default_rounding_mode (void)

   2157  -- Function: int mpfr_prec_round (mpfr_t X, mpfr_prec_t PREC,
   2158           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2159      Round X according to RND with precision PREC, which must be an
   2160      integer between `MPFR_PREC_MIN' and `MPFR_PREC_MAX' (otherwise the
   2161      behavior is undefined).  If PREC is greater or equal to the
   2162      precision of X, then new space is allocated for the significand,
   2163      and it is filled with zeros.  Otherwise, the significand is
   2164      rounded to precision PREC with the given direction. In both cases,
   2165      the precision of X is changed to PREC.
   2166 
   2167      Here is an example of how to use `mpfr_prec_round' to implement
   2168      Newton's algorithm to compute the inverse of A, assuming X is
   2169      already an approximation to N bits:
   2170             mpfr_set_prec (t, 2 * n);
   2171             mpfr_set (t, a, MPFR_RNDN);         /* round a to 2n bits */
   2172             mpfr_mul (t, t, x, MPFR_RNDN);      /* t is correct to 2n bits */
   2173             mpfr_ui_sub (t, 1, t, MPFR_RNDN);   /* high n bits cancel with 1 */
   2174             mpfr_prec_round (t, n, MPFR_RNDN);  /* t is correct to n bits */
   2175             mpfr_mul (t, t, x, MPFR_RNDN);      /* t is correct to n bits */
   2176             mpfr_prec_round (x, 2 * n, MPFR_RNDN); /* exact */
   2177             mpfr_add (x, x, t, MPFR_RNDN);      /* x is correct to 2n bits */
   2178 
   2179  -- Function: int mpfr_can_round (mpfr_t B, mpfr_exp_t ERR, mpfr_rnd_t
   2180           RND1, mpfr_rnd_t RND2, mpfr_prec_t PREC)
   2181      Assuming B is an approximation of an unknown number X in the
   2182      direction RND1 with error at most two to the power E(b)-ERR where
   2183      E(b) is the exponent of B, return a non-zero value if one is able
   2184      to round correctly X to precision PREC with the direction RND2,
   2185      and 0 otherwise (including for NaN and Inf).  This function *does
   2186      not modify* its arguments.
   2187 
   2188      If RND1 is `MPFR_RNDN', then the sign of the error is unknown, but
   2189      its absolute value is the same, so that the possible range is
   2190      twice as large as with a directed rounding for RND1.
   2191 
   2192      Note: if one wants to also determine the correct *note ternary
   2193      value:: when rounding B to precision PREC with rounding mode RND,
   2194      a useful trick is the following: if (mpfr_can_round (b, err, MPFR_RNDN, MPFR_RNDZ, prec + (rnd == MPFR_RNDN)))
   2195         ...
   2196       Indeed, if RND is `MPFR_RNDN', this will check if one can round
   2197      to PREC+1 bits with a directed rounding: if so, one can surely
   2198      round to nearest to PREC bits, and in addition one can determine
   2199      the correct ternary value, which would not be the case when B is
   2200      near from a value exactly representable on PREC bits.

   2205      the returned value can be less than `MPFR_PREC_MIN'.)

   2238      Set ROP to the minimum (resp. maximum) of OP1 and OP2. If OP1 and
   2239      OP2 are both NaN, then ROP is set to NaN. If OP1 or OP2 is NaN,
   2240      then ROP is set to the numeric value. If OP1 and OP2 are zeros of

   2242 
   2243  -- Function: int mpfr_urandomb (mpfr_t ROP, gmp_randstate_t STATE)
   2244      Generate a uniformly distributed random float in the interval 0 <=
   2245      ROP < 1. More precisely, the number can be seen as a float with a
   2246      random non-normalized significand and exponent 0, which is then
   2247      normalized (thus if E denotes the exponent after normalization,
   2248      then the least -E significant bits of the significand are always
   2249      0).
   2250 
   2251      Return 0, unless the exponent is not in the current exponent
   2252      range, in which case ROP is set to NaN and a non-zero value is
   2253      returned (this should never happen in practice, except in very
   2254      specific cases). The second argument is a `gmp_randstate_t'
   2255      structure which should be created using the GMP `gmp_randinit'
   2256      function (see the GMP manual).
   2257 
   2258      Note: for a given version of MPFR, the returned value of ROP and
   2259      the new value of STATE (which controls further random values) do
   2260      not depend on the machine word size.

   2262  -- Function: int mpfr_urandom (mpfr_t ROP, gmp_randstate_t STATE,

   2264      Generate a uniformly distributed random float.  The floating-point
   2265      number ROP can be seen as if a random real number is generated
   2266      according to the continuous uniform distribution on the interval
   2267      [0, 1] and then rounded in the direction RND.
   2268 
   2269      The second argument is a `gmp_randstate_t' structure which should
   2270      be created using the GMP `gmp_randinit' function (see the GMP
   2271      manual).
   2272 
   2273      Note: the note for `mpfr_urandomb' holds too. In addition, the
   2274      exponent range and the rounding mode might have a side effect on
   2275      the next random state.

   2279      Generate two random floats according to a standard normal gaussian
   2280      distribution. If ROP2 is a null pointer, then only one value is
   2281      generated and stored in ROP1.
   2282 
   2283      The floating-point number ROP1 (and ROP2) can be seen as if a
   2284      random real number were generated according to the standard normal
   2285      gaussian distribution and then rounded in the direction RND.
   2286 
   2287      The third argument is a `gmp_randstate_t' structure, which should
   2288      be created using the GMP `gmp_randinit' function (see the GMP
   2289      manual).
   2290 
   2291      The combination of the ternary values is returned like with
   2292      `mpfr_sin_cos'. If ROP2 is a null pointer, the second ternary
   2293      value is assumed to be 0 (note that the encoding of the only
   2294      ternary value is not the same as the usual encoding for functions
   2295      that return only one result). Otherwise the ternary value of a
   2296      random number is always non-zero.
   2297 
   2298      Note: the note for `mpfr_urandomb' holds too. In addition, the
   2299      exponent range and the rounding mode might have a side effect on
   2300      the next random state.
   2301 
   2302  -- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_exp (mpfr_t X)
   2303      Return the exponent of X, assuming that X is a non-zero ordinary
   2304      number and the significand is considered in [1/2,1). The behavior
   2305      for NaN, infinity or zero is undefined.
   2306 
   2307  -- Function: int mpfr_set_exp (mpfr_t X, mpfr_exp_t E)
   2308      Set the exponent of X if E is in the current exponent range, and
   2309      return 0 (even if X is not a non-zero ordinary number); otherwise,
   2310      return a non-zero value.  The significand is assumed to be in
   2311      [1/2,1).
   2312 
   2313  -- Function: int mpfr_signbit (mpfr_t OP)
   2314      Return a non-zero value iff OP has its sign bit set (i.e., if it is
   2315      negative, -0, or a NaN whose representation has its sign bit set).
   2316 
   2317  -- Function: int mpfr_setsign (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP, int S,
   2318           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2319      Set the value of ROP from OP, rounded toward the given direction
   2320      RND, then set (resp. clear) its sign bit if S is non-zero (resp.
   2321      zero), even when OP is a NaN.
   2322 
   2323  -- Function: int mpfr_copysign (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP1, mpfr_t OP2,
   2324           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2325      Set the value of ROP from OP1, rounded toward the given direction
   2326      RND, then set its sign bit to that of OP2 (even when OP1 or OP2 is
   2327      a NaN). This function is equivalent to `mpfr_setsign (ROP, OP1,
   2328      mpfr_signbit (OP2), RND)'.
   2329 
   2330  -- Function: const char * mpfr_get_version (void)
   2331      Return the MPFR version, as a null-terminated string.
   2332 
   2333  -- Macro: MPFR_VERSION
   2334  -- Macro: MPFR_VERSION_MAJOR
   2335  -- Macro: MPFR_VERSION_MINOR
   2336  -- Macro: MPFR_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL
   2337  -- Macro: MPFR_VERSION_STRING
   2338      `MPFR_VERSION' is the version of MPFR as a preprocessing constant.
   2339      `MPFR_VERSION_MAJOR', `MPFR_VERSION_MINOR' and
   2340      `MPFR_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL' are respectively the major, minor and
   2341      patch level of MPFR version, as preprocessing constants.
   2342      `MPFR_VERSION_STRING' is the version (with an optional suffix, used
   2343      in development and pre-release versions) as a string constant,
   2344      which can be compared to the result of `mpfr_get_version' to check
   2345      at run time the header file and library used match:
   2346           if (strcmp (mpfr_get_version (), MPFR_VERSION_STRING))
   2347             fprintf (stderr, "Warning: header and library do not match\n");
   2348      Note: Obtaining different strings is not necessarily an error, as
   2349      in general, a program compiled with some old MPFR version can be
   2350      dynamically linked with a newer MPFR library version (if allowed
   2351      by the library versioning system).
   2352 
   2353  -- Macro: long MPFR_VERSION_NUM (MAJOR, MINOR, PATCHLEVEL)
   2354      Create an integer in the same format as used by `MPFR_VERSION'
   2355      from the given MAJOR, MINOR and PATCHLEVEL.  Here is an example of
   2356      how to check the MPFR version at compile time:
   2357           #if (!defined(MPFR_VERSION) || (MPFR_VERSION<MPFR_VERSION_NUM(3,0,0)))
   2358           # error "Wrong MPFR version."
   2359           #endif
   2360 
   2361  -- Function: const char * mpfr_get_patches (void)
   2362      Return a null-terminated string containing the ids of the patches
   2363      applied to the MPFR library (contents of the `PATCHES' file),
   2364      separated by spaces.  Note: If the program has been compiled with
   2365      an older MPFR version and is dynamically linked with a new MPFR
   2366      library version, the identifiers of the patches applied to the old
   2367      (compile-time) MPFR version are not available (however this
   2368      information should not have much interest in general).
   2369 
   2370  -- Function: int mpfr_buildopt_tls_p (void)
   2371      Return a non-zero value if MPFR was compiled as thread safe using
   2372      compiler-level Thread Local Storage (that is, MPFR was built with
   2373      the `--enable-thread-safe' configure option, see `INSTALL' file),
   2374      return zero otherwise.
   2375 
   2376  -- Function: int mpfr_buildopt_decimal_p (void)
   2377      Return a non-zero value if MPFR was compiled with decimal float
   2378      support (that is, MPFR was built with the `--enable-decimal-float'
   2379      configure option), return zero otherwise.
   2380 
   2381  -- Function: int mpfr_buildopt_gmpinternals_p (void)
   2382      Return a non-zero value if MPFR was compiled with GMP internals
   2383      (that is, MPFR was built with either `--with-gmp-build' or
   2384      `--enable-gmp-internals' configure option), return zero otherwise.
   2385 
   2386  -- Function: const char * mpfr_buildopt_tune_case (void)
   2387      Return a string saying which thresholds file has been used at
   2388      compile time.  This file is normally selected from the processor
   2389      type.

   2396 
   2397  -- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emin (void)
   2398  -- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emax (void)
   2399      Return the (current) smallest and largest exponents allowed for a
   2400      floating-point variable. The smallest positive value of a
   2401      floating-point variable is one half times 2 raised to the smallest
   2402      exponent and the largest value has the form (1 - epsilon) times 2
   2403      raised to the largest exponent, where epsilon depends on the
   2404      precision of the considered variable.
   2405 
   2406  -- Function: int mpfr_set_emin (mpfr_exp_t EXP)
   2407  -- Function: int mpfr_set_emax (mpfr_exp_t EXP)
   2408      Set the smallest and largest exponents allowed for a
   2409      floating-point variable.  Return a non-zero value when EXP is not
   2410      in the range accepted by the implementation (in that case the
   2411      smallest or largest exponent is not changed), and zero otherwise.
   2412      If the user changes the exponent range, it is her/his
   2413      responsibility to check that all current floating-point variables
   2414      are in the new allowed range (for example using
   2415      `mpfr_check_range'), otherwise the subsequent behavior will be
   2416      undefined, in the sense of the ISO C standard.
   2417 
   2418  -- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emin_min (void)
   2419  -- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emin_max (void)
   2420  -- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emax_min (void)
   2421  -- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_get_emax_max (void)
   2422      Return the minimum and maximum of the exponents allowed for
   2423      `mpfr_set_emin' and `mpfr_set_emax' respectively.  These values
   2424      are implementation dependent, thus a program using
   2425      `mpfr_set_emax(mpfr_get_emax_max())' or
   2426      `mpfr_set_emin(mpfr_get_emin_min())' may not be portable.
   2427 
   2428  -- Function: int mpfr_check_range (mpfr_t X, int T, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2429      This function assumes that X is the correctly-rounded value of some
   2430      real value Y in the direction RND and some extended exponent
   2431      range, and that T is the corresponding *note ternary value::.  For
   2432      example, one performed `t = mpfr_log (x, u, rnd)', and Y is the
   2433      exact logarithm of U.  Thus T is negative if X is smaller than Y,
   2434      positive if X is larger than Y, and zero if X equals Y.  This
   2435      function modifies X if needed to be in the current range of
   2436      acceptable values: It generates an underflow or an overflow if the
   2437      exponent of X is outside the current allowed range; the value of T
   2438      may be used to avoid a double rounding. This function returns zero
   2439      if the new value of X equals the exact one Y, a positive value if
   2440      that new value is larger than Y, and a negative value if it is
   2441      smaller than Y.  Note that unlike most functions, the new result X
   2442      is compared to the (unknown) exact one Y, not the input value X,
   2443      i.e., the ternary value is propagated.
   2444 
   2445      Note: If X is an infinity and T is different from zero (i.e., if
   2446      the rounded result is an inexact infinity), then the overflow flag
   2447      is set. This is useful because `mpfr_check_range' is typically
   2448      called (at least in MPFR functions) after restoring the flags that
   2449      could have been set due to internal computations.
   2450 
   2451  -- Function: int mpfr_subnormalize (mpfr_t X, int T, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2452      This function rounds X emulating subnormal number arithmetic: if X
   2453      is outside the subnormal exponent range, it just propagates the
   2454      *note ternary value:: T; otherwise, it rounds X to precision
   2455      `EXP(x)-emin+1' according to rounding mode RND and previous
   2456      ternary value T, avoiding double rounding problems.  More
   2457      precisely in the subnormal domain, denoting by E the value of
   2458      `emin', X is rounded in fixed-point arithmetic to an integer
   2459      multiple of two to the power E-1; as a consequence, 1.5 multiplied
   2460      by two to the power E-1 when T is zero is rounded to two to the
   2461      power E with rounding to nearest.
   2462 
   2463      `PREC(x)' is not modified by this function.  RND and T must be the
   2464      rounding mode and the returned ternary value used when computing X
   2465      (as in `mpfr_check_range').  The subnormal exponent range is from
   2466      `emin' to `emin+PREC(x)-1'.  If the result cannot be represented
   2467      in the current exponent range (due to a too small `emax'), the
   2468      behavior is undefined.  Note that unlike most functions, the
   2469      result is compared to the exact one, not the input value X, i.e.,
   2470      the ternary value is propagated.
   2471 
   2472      As usual, if the returned ternary value is non zero, the inexact
   2473      flag is set.  Moreover, if a second rounding occurred (because the
   2474      input X was in the subnormal range), the underflow flag is set.
   2475 
   2476    This is an example of how to emulate binary double IEEE 754
   2477 arithmetic (binary64 in IEEE 754-2008) using MPFR:
   2478 
   2479      {
   2480        mpfr_t xa, xb; int i; volatile double a, b;
   2481 
   2482        mpfr_set_default_prec (53);
   2483        mpfr_set_emin (-1073); mpfr_set_emax (1024);
   2484 
   2485        mpfr_init (xa); mpfr_init (xb);
   2486 
   2487        b = 34.3; mpfr_set_d (xb, b, MPFR_RNDN);
   2488        a = 0x1.1235P-1021; mpfr_set_d (xa, a, MPFR_RNDN);
   2489 
   2490        a /= b;
   2491        i = mpfr_div (xa, xa, xb, MPFR_RNDN);
   2492        i = mpfr_subnormalize (xa, i, MPFR_RNDN); /* new ternary value */
   2493 
   2494        mpfr_clear (xa); mpfr_clear (xb);
   2495      }
   2496 
   2497    Warning: this emulates a double IEEE 754 arithmetic with correct
   2498 rounding in the subnormal range, which may not be the case for your
   2499 hardware.

   2536 5.14 Compatibility With MPF
   2537 ===========================
   2538 
   2539 A header file `mpf2mpfr.h' is included in the distribution of MPFR for
   2540 compatibility with the GNU MP class MPF.  By inserting the following
   2541 two lines after the `#include <gmp.h>' line,
   2542 #include <mpfr.h>
   2543 #include <mpf2mpfr.h>
   2544  any program written for MPF can be compiled directly with MPFR without
   2545 any changes (except the `gmp_printf' functions will not work for
   2546 arguments of type `mpfr_t').  All operations are then performed with
   2547 the default MPFR rounding mode, which can be reset with
   2548 `mpfr_set_default_rounding_mode'.
   2549 
   2550    Warning: the `mpf_init' and `mpf_init2' functions initialize to
   2551 zero, whereas the corresponding MPFR functions initialize to NaN: this
   2552 is useful to detect uninitialized values, but is slightly incompatible
   2553 with MPF.
   2554 
   2555  -- Function: void mpfr_set_prec_raw (mpfr_t X, mpfr_prec_t PREC)
   2556      Reset the precision of X to be *exactly* PREC bits.  The only
   2557      difference with `mpfr_set_prec' is that PREC is assumed to be
   2558      small enough so that the significand fits into the current
   2559      allocated memory space for X. Otherwise the behavior is undefined.
   2560 
   2561  -- Function: int mpfr_eq (mpfr_t OP1, mpfr_t OP2, unsigned long int
   2562           OP3)
   2563      Return non-zero if OP1 and OP2 are both non-zero ordinary numbers
   2564      with the same exponent and the same first OP3 bits, both zero, or
   2565      both infinities of the same sign. Return zero otherwise.  This
   2566      function is defined for compatibility with MPF, we do not recommend
   2567      to use it otherwise.  Do not use it either if you want to know
   2568      whether two numbers are close to each other; for instance,
   2569      1.011111 and 1.100000 are regarded as different for any value of
   2570      OP3 larger than 1.
   2571 
   2572  -- Function: void mpfr_reldiff (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP1, mpfr_t OP2,
   2573           mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2574      Compute the relative difference between OP1 and OP2 and store the
   2575      result in ROP.  This function does not guarantee the correct
   2576      rounding on the relative difference; it just computes
   2577      |OP1-OP2|/OP1, using the precision of ROP and the rounding mode
   2578      RND for all operations.
   2579 
   2580  -- Function: int mpfr_mul_2exp (mpfr_t ROP, mpfr_t OP1, unsigned long

   2583           int OP2, mpfr_rnd_t RND)
   2584      These functions are identical to `mpfr_mul_2ui' and `mpfr_div_2ui'
   2585      respectively.  These functions are only kept for compatibility
   2586      with MPF, one should prefer `mpfr_mul_2ui' and `mpfr_div_2ui'
   2587      otherwise.

   2591 
   2592 5.15 Custom Interface
   2593 =====================
   2594 
   2595 Some applications use a stack to handle the memory and their objects.
   2596 However, the MPFR memory design is not well suited for such a thing. So
   2597 that such applications are able to use MPFR, an auxiliary memory
   2598 interface has been created: the Custom Interface.
   2599 
   2600    The following interface allows one to use MPFR in two ways:
   2601    * Either directly store a floating-point number as a `mpfr_t' on the
   2602      stack.
   2603 
   2604    * Either store its own representation on the stack and construct a
   2605      new temporary `mpfr_t' each time it is needed.
   2606    Nothing has to be done to destroy the floating-point numbers except
   2607 garbaging the used memory: all the memory management (allocating,
   2608 destroying, garbaging) is left to the application.
   2609 
   2610    Each function in this interface is also implemented as a macro for
   2611 efficiency reasons: for example `mpfr_custom_init (s, p)' uses the
   2612 macro, while `(mpfr_custom_init) (s, p)' uses the function.
   2613 
   2614    Note 1: MPFR functions may still initialize temporary floating-point
   2615 numbers using `mpfr_init' and similar functions. See Custom Allocation
   2616 (GNU MP).
   2617 
   2618    Note 2: MPFR functions may use the cached functions (`mpfr_const_pi'
   2619 for example), even if they are not explicitly called. You have to call
   2620 `mpfr_free_cache' each time you garbage the memory iff `mpfr_init',
   2621 through GMP Custom Allocation, allocates its memory on the application
   2622 stack.
   2623 
   2624  -- Function: size_t mpfr_custom_get_size (mpfr_prec_t PREC)
   2625      Return the needed size in bytes to store the significand of a
   2626      floating-point number of precision PREC.
   2627 
   2628  -- Function: void mpfr_custom_init (void *SIGNIFICAND, mpfr_prec_t
   2629           PREC)
   2630      Initialize a significand of precision PREC, where SIGNIFICAND must
   2631      be an area of `mpfr_custom_get_size (prec)' bytes at least and be
   2632      suitably aligned for an array of `mp_limb_t' (GMP type, *note
   2633      Internals::).
   2634 
   2635  -- Function: void mpfr_custom_init_set (mpfr_t X, int KIND, mpfr_exp_t
   2636           EXP, mpfr_prec_t PREC, void *SIGNIFICAND)
   2637      Perform a dummy initialization of a `mpfr_t' and set it to:
   2638         * if `ABS(kind) == MPFR_NAN_KIND', X is set to NaN;
   2639 
   2640         * if `ABS(kind) == MPFR_INF_KIND', X is set to the infinity of
   2641           sign `sign(kind)';
   2642 
   2643         * if `ABS(kind) == MPFR_ZERO_KIND', X is set to the zero of
   2644           sign `sign(kind)';
   2645 
   2646         * if `ABS(kind) == MPFR_REGULAR_KIND', X is set to a regular
   2647           number: `x = sign(kind)*significand*2^exp'.
   2648      In all cases, it uses SIGNIFICAND directly for further computing
   2649      involving X. It will not allocate anything.  A floating-point
   2650      number initialized with this function cannot be resized using
   2651      `mpfr_set_prec' or `mpfr_prec_round', or cleared using
   2652      `mpfr_clear'!  The SIGNIFICAND must have been initialized with
   2653      `mpfr_custom_init' using the same precision PREC.
   2654 
   2655  -- Function: int mpfr_custom_get_kind (mpfr_t X)
   2656      Return the current kind of a `mpfr_t' as created by
   2657      `mpfr_custom_init_set'.  The behavior of this function for any
   2658      `mpfr_t' not initialized with `mpfr_custom_init_set' is undefined.
   2659 
   2660  -- Function: void * mpfr_custom_get_significand (mpfr_t X)
   2661      Return a pointer to the significand used by a `mpfr_t' initialized
   2662      with `mpfr_custom_init_set'.  The behavior of this function for
   2663      any `mpfr_t' not initialized with `mpfr_custom_init_set' is
   2664      undefined.
   2665 
   2666  -- Function: mpfr_exp_t mpfr_custom_get_exp (mpfr_t X)
   2667      Return the exponent of X, assuming that X is a non-zero ordinary
   2668      number. The return value for NaN, Infinity or zero is unspecified
   2669      but does not produce any trap.  The behavior of this function for
   2670      any `mpfr_t' not initialized with `mpfr_custom_init_set' is
   2671      undefined.
   2672 
   2673  -- Function: void mpfr_custom_move (mpfr_t X, void *NEW_POSITION)
   2674      Inform MPFR that the significand of X has moved due to a garbage
   2675      collect and update its new position to `new_position'.  However
   2676      the application has to move the significand and the `mpfr_t'
   2677      itself.  The behavior of this function for any `mpfr_t' not
   2678      initialized with `mpfr_custom_init_set' is undefined.

   2684 ==============
   2685 
   2686 A "limb" means the part of a multi-precision number that fits in a
   2687 single word. Usually a limb contains 32 or 64 bits.  The C data type
   2688 for a limb is `mp_limb_t'.
   2689 
   2690    The `mpfr_t' type is internally defined as a one-element array of a
   2691 structure, and `mpfr_ptr' is the C data type representing a pointer to
   2692 this structure.  The `mpfr_t' type consists of four fields:
   2693 
   2694    * The `_mpfr_prec' field is used to store the precision of the
   2695      variable (in bits); this is not less than `MPFR_PREC_MIN'.
   2696 
   2697    * The `_mpfr_sign' field is used to store the sign of the variable.
   2698 
   2699    * The `_mpfr_exp' field stores the exponent.  An exponent of 0 means
   2700      a radix point just above the most significant limb.  Non-zero
   2701      values n are a multiplier 2^n relative to that point.  A NaN, an
   2702      infinity and a zero are indicated by special values of the exponent
   2703      field.
   2704 
   2705    * Finally, the `_mpfr_d' field is a pointer to the limbs, least
   2706      significant limbs stored first.  The number of limbs in use is
   2707      controlled by `_mpfr_prec', namely
   2708      ceil(`_mpfr_prec'/`mp_bits_per_limb').  Non-singular (i.e.,
   2709      different from NaN, Infinity or zero) values always have the most
   2710      significant bit of the most significant limb set to 1.  When the
   2711      precision does not correspond to a whole number of limbs, the
   2712      excess bits at the low end of the data are zeros.

   2718 6 API Compatibility
   2719 *******************
   2720 
   2721 The goal of this section is to describe some API changes that occurred
   2722 from one version of MPFR to another, and how to write code that can be
   2723 compiled and run with older MPFR versions.  The minimum MPFR version
   2724 that is considered here is 2.2.0 (released on 20 September 2005).
   2725 
   2726    API changes can only occur between major or minor versions.  Thus the
   2727 patchlevel (the third number in the MPFR version) will be ignored in
   2728 the following.  If a program does not use MPFR internals, changes in
   2729 the behavior between two versions differing only by the patchlevel
   2730 should only result from what was regarded as a bug or unspecified
   2731 behavior.
   2732 
   2733    As a general rule, a program written for some MPFR version should
   2734 work with later versions, possibly except at a new major version, where
   2735 some features (described as obsolete for some time) can be removed.  In
   2736 such a case, a failure should occur during compilation or linking.  If
   2737 a result becomes incorrect because of such a change, please look at the
   2738 various changes below (they are minimal, and most software should be
   2739 unaffected), at the FAQ and at the MPFR web page for your version (a
   2740 bug could have been introduced and be already fixed); and if the
   2741 problem is not mentioned, please send us a bug report (*note Reporting
   2742 Bugs::).
   2743 
   2744    However, a program written for the current MPFR version (as
   2745 documented by this manual) may not necessarily work with previous
   2746 versions of MPFR.  This section should help developers to write
   2747 portable code.
   2748 
   2749    Note: Information given here may be incomplete.  API changes are
   2750 also described in the NEWS file (for each version, instead of being
   2751 classified like here), together with other changes.

   2763 
   2764 6.1 Type and Macro Changes
   2765 ==========================
   2766 
   2767 The official type for exponent values changed from `mp_exp_t' to
   2768 `mpfr_exp_t' in MPFR 3.0.  The type `mp_exp_t' will remain available as
   2769 it comes from GMP (with a different meaning).  These types are
   2770 currently the same (`mpfr_exp_t' is defined as `mp_exp_t' with
   2771 `typedef'), so that programs can still use `mp_exp_t'; but this may
   2772 change in the future.  Alternatively, using the following code after
   2773 including `mpfr.h' will work with official MPFR versions, as
   2774 `mpfr_exp_t' was never defined in MPFR 2.x:
   2775      #if MPFR_VERSION_MAJOR < 3
   2776      typedef mp_exp_t mpfr_exp_t;
   2777      #endif
   2778 
   2779    The official types for precision values and for rounding modes
   2780 respectively changed from `mp_prec_t' and `mp_rnd_t' to `mpfr_prec_t'
   2781 and `mpfr_rnd_t' in MPFR 3.0.  This change was actually done a long
   2782 time ago in MPFR, at least since MPFR 2.2.0, with the following code in
   2783 `mpfr.h':
   2784      #ifndef mp_rnd_t
   2785      # define mp_rnd_t  mpfr_rnd_t
   2786      #endif
   2787      #ifndef mp_prec_t
   2788      # define mp_prec_t mpfr_prec_t
   2789      #endif
   2790    This means that it is safe to use the new official types
   2791 `mpfr_prec_t' and `mpfr_rnd_t' in your programs.  The types `mp_prec_t'
   2792 and `mp_rnd_t' (defined in MPFR only) may be removed in the future, as
   2793 the prefix `mp_' is reserved by GMP.
   2794 
   2795    The precision type `mpfr_prec_t' (`mp_prec_t') was unsigned before
   2796 MPFR 3.0; it is now signed.  `MPFR_PREC_MAX' has not changed, though.
   2797 Indeed the MPFR code requires that `MPFR_PREC_MAX' be representable in
   2798 the exponent type, which may have the same size as `mpfr_prec_t' but
   2799 has always been signed.  The consequence is that valid code that does
   2800 not assume anything about the signedness of `mpfr_prec_t' should work
   2801 with past and new MPFR versions.  This change was useful as the use of
   2802 unsigned types tends to convert signed values to unsigned ones in
   2803 expressions due to the usual arithmetic conversions, which can yield
   2804 incorrect results if a negative value is converted in such a way.
   2805 Warning!  A program assuming (intentionally or not) that `mpfr_prec_t'
   2806 is signed may be affected by this problem when it is built and run
   2807 against MPFR 2.x.
   2808 
   2809    The rounding modes `GMP_RNDx' were renamed to `MPFR_RNDx' in MPFR
   2810 3.0. However the old names `GMP_RNDx' have been kept for compatibility
   2811 (this might change in future versions), using:
   2812      #define GMP_RNDN MPFR_RNDN
   2813      #define GMP_RNDZ MPFR_RNDZ
   2814      #define GMP_RNDU MPFR_RNDU
   2815      #define GMP_RNDD MPFR_RNDD
   2816    The rounding mode "round away from zero" (`MPFR_RNDA') was added in
   2817 MPFR 3.0 (however no rounding mode `GMP_RNDA' exists).

   2822 6.2 Added Functions
   2823 ===================
   2824 
   2825 We give here in alphabetical order the functions that were added after
   2826 MPFR 2.2, and in which MPFR version.
   2827 
   2828    * `mpfr_add_d' in MPFR 2.4.
   2829 
   2830    * `mpfr_ai' in MPFR 3.0 (incomplete, experimental).
   2831 
   2832    * `mpfr_asprintf' in MPFR 2.4.
   2833 
   2834    * `mpfr_buildopt_decimal_p' and `mpfr_buildopt_tls_p' in MPFR 3.0.
   2835 
   2836    * `mpfr_buildopt_gmpinternals_p' and `mpfr_buildopt_tune_case' in
   2837      MPFR 3.1.
   2838 
   2839    * `mpfr_clear_divby0' in MPFR 3.1 (new divide-by-zero exception).
   2840 
   2841    * `mpfr_copysign' in MPFR 2.3.  Note: MPFR 2.2 had a `mpfr_copysign'
   2842      function that was available, but not documented, and with a slight
   2843      difference in the semantics (when the second input operand is a
   2844      NaN).
   2845 
   2846    * `mpfr_custom_get_significand' in MPFR 3.0.  This function was
   2847      named `mpfr_custom_get_mantissa' in previous versions;
   2848      `mpfr_custom_get_mantissa' is still available via a macro in
   2849      `mpfr.h':
   2850           #define mpfr_custom_get_mantissa mpfr_custom_get_significand
   2851      Thus code that needs to work with both MPFR 2.x and MPFR 3.x should
   2852      use `mpfr_custom_get_mantissa'.
   2853 
   2854    * `mpfr_d_div' and `mpfr_d_sub' in MPFR 2.4.
   2855 
   2856    * `mpfr_digamma' in MPFR 3.0.
   2857 
   2858    * `mpfr_divby0_p' in MPFR 3.1 (new divide-by-zero exception).
   2859 
   2860    * `mpfr_div_d' in MPFR 2.4.
   2861 
   2862    * `mpfr_fmod' in MPFR 2.4.
   2863 
   2864    * `mpfr_fms' in MPFR 2.3.
   2865 
   2866    * `mpfr_fprintf' in MPFR 2.4.
   2867 
   2868    * `mpfr_frexp' in MPFR 3.1.
   2869 
   2870    * `mpfr_get_flt' in MPFR 3.0.
   2871 
   2872    * `mpfr_get_patches' in MPFR 2.3.
   2873 
   2874    * `mpfr_get_z_2exp' in MPFR 3.0.  This function was named
   2875      `mpfr_get_z_exp' in previous versions; `mpfr_get_z_exp' is still
   2876      available via a macro in `mpfr.h':
   2877           #define mpfr_get_z_exp mpfr_get_z_2exp
   2878      Thus code that needs to work with both MPFR 2.x and MPFR 3.x should
   2879      use `mpfr_get_z_exp'.
   2880 
   2881    * `mpfr_grandom' in MPFR 3.1.
   2882 
   2883    * `mpfr_j0', `mpfr_j1' and `mpfr_jn' in MPFR 2.3.
   2884 
   2885    * `mpfr_lgamma' in MPFR 2.3.
   2886 
   2887    * `mpfr_li2' in MPFR 2.4.
   2888 
   2889    * `mpfr_min_prec' in MPFR 3.0.
   2890 
   2891    * `mpfr_modf' in MPFR 2.4.
   2892 
   2893    * `mpfr_mul_d' in MPFR 2.4.
   2894 
   2895    * `mpfr_printf' in MPFR 2.4.
   2896 
   2897    * `mpfr_rec_sqrt' in MPFR 2.4.
   2898 
   2899    * `mpfr_regular_p' in MPFR 3.0.
   2900 
   2901    * `mpfr_remainder' and `mpfr_remquo' in MPFR 2.3.
   2902 
   2903    * `mpfr_set_divby0' in MPFR 3.1 (new divide-by-zero exception).
   2904 
   2905    * `mpfr_set_flt' in MPFR 3.0.
   2906 
   2907    * `mpfr_set_z_2exp' in MPFR 3.0.
   2908 
   2909    * `mpfr_set_zero' in MPFR 3.0.

   2934 6.3 Changed Functions
   2935 =====================
   2936 
   2937 The following functions have changed after MPFR 2.2. Changes can affect
   2938 the behavior of code written for some MPFR version when built and run
   2939 against another MPFR version (older or newer), as described below.
   2940 
   2941    * `mpfr_check_range' changed in MPFR 2.3.2 and MPFR 2.4.  If the
   2942      value is an inexact infinity, the overflow flag is now set (in
   2943      case it was lost), while it was previously left unchanged.  This
   2944      is really what is expected in practice (and what the MPFR code was
   2945      expecting), so that the previous behavior was regarded as a bug.
   2946      Hence the change in MPFR 2.3.2.
   2947 
   2948    * `mpfr_get_f' changed in MPFR 3.0.  This function was returning
   2949      zero, except for NaN and Inf, which do not exist in MPF. The
   2950      _erange_ flag is now set in these cases, and `mpfr_get_f' now
   2951      returns the usual ternary value.
   2952 
   2953    * `mpfr_get_si', `mpfr_get_sj', `mpfr_get_ui' and `mpfr_get_uj'
   2954      changed in MPFR 3.0.  In previous MPFR versions, the cases where
   2955      the _erange_ flag is set were unspecified.
   2956 
   2957    * `mpfr_get_z' changed in MPFR 3.0.  The return type was `void'; it
   2958      is now `int', and the usual ternary value is returned.  Thus
   2959      programs that need to work with both MPFR 2.x and 3.x must not use
   2960      the return value.  Even in this case, C code using `mpfr_get_z' as
   2961      the second or third term of a conditional operator may also be
   2962      affected. For instance, the following is correct with MPFR 3.0,
   2963      but not with MPFR 2.x:
   2964             bool ? mpfr_get_z(...) : mpfr_add(...);
   2965      On the other hand, the following is correct with MPFR 2.x, but not
   2966      with MPFR 3.0:
   2967             bool ? mpfr_get_z(...) : (void) mpfr_add(...);
   2968      Portable code should cast `mpfr_get_z(...)' to `void' to use the
   2969      type `void' for both terms of the conditional operator, as in:
   2970             bool ? (void) mpfr_get_z(...) : (void) mpfr_add(...);
   2971      Alternatively, `if ... else' can be used instead of the
   2972      conditional operator.
   2973 
   2974      Moreover the cases where the _erange_ flag is set were unspecified
   2975      in MPFR 2.x.
   2976 
   2977    * `mpfr_get_z_exp' changed in MPFR 3.0.  In previous MPFR versions,
   2978      the cases where the _erange_ flag is set were unspecified.  Note:
   2979      this function has been renamed to `mpfr_get_z_2exp' in MPFR 3.0,
   2980      but `mpfr_get_z_exp' is still available for compatibility reasons.
   2981 
   2982    * `mpfr_strtofr' changed in MPFR 2.3.1 and MPFR 2.4.  This was
   2983      actually a bug fix since the code and the documentation did not
   2984      match.  But both were changed in order to have a more consistent
   2985      and useful behavior.  The main changes in the code are as follows.
   2986      The binary exponent is now accepted even without the `0b' or `0x'
   2987      prefix.  Data corresponding to NaN can now have an optional sign
   2988      (such data were previously invalid).
   2989 
   2990    * `mpfr_strtofr' changed in MPFR 3.0.  This function now accepts
   2991      bases from 37 to 62 (no changes for the other bases).  Note: if an
   2992      unsupported base is provided to this function, the behavior is
   2993      undefined; more precisely, in MPFR 2.3.1 and later, providing an
   2994      unsupported base yields an assertion failure (this behavior may
   2995      change in the future).
   2996 
   2997    * `mpfr_subnormalize' changed in MPFR 3.1.  This was actually
   2998      regarded as a bug fix. The `mpfr_subnormalize' implementation up
   2999      to MPFR 3.0.0 did not change the flags. In particular, it did not
   3000      follow the generic rule concerning the inexact flag (and no
   3001      special behavior was specified). The case of the underflow flag
   3002      was more a lack of specification.
   3003 
   3004    * `mpfr_urandom' and `mpfr_urandomb' changed in MPFR 3.1.  Their
   3005      behavior no longer depends on the platform (assuming this is also
   3006      true for GMP's random generator, which is not the case between GMP
   3007      4.1 and 4.2 if `gmp_randinit_default' is used).  As a consequence,
   3008      the returned values can be different between MPFR 3.1 and previous
   3009      MPFR versions.  Note: as the reproducibility of these functions
   3010      was not specified before MPFR 3.1, the MPFR 3.1 behavior is _not_
   3011      regarded as backward incompatible with previous versions.

   3017 6.4 Removed Functions
   3018 =====================
   3019 
   3020 Functions `mpfr_random' and `mpfr_random2' have been removed in MPFR
   3021 3.0 (this only affects old code built against MPFR 3.0 or later).  (The
   3022 function `mpfr_random' had been deprecated since at least MPFR 2.2.0,
   3023 and `mpfr_random2' since MPFR 2.4.0.)
   3024 
   3025 
   3026 File: mpfr.info,  Node: Other Changes,  Prev: Removed Functions,  Up: API Compatibility
   3027 
   3028 6.5 Other Changes
   3029 =================
   3030 
   3031 For users of a C++ compiler, the way how the availability of `intmax_t'
   3032 is detected has changed in MPFR 3.0.  In MPFR 2.x, if a macro
   3033 `INTMAX_C' or `UINTMAX_C' was defined (e.g. when the
   3034 `__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS' macro had been defined before `<stdint.h>' or
   3035 `<inttypes.h>' has been included), `intmax_t' was assumed to be defined.
   3036 However this was not always the case (more precisely, `intmax_t' can be
   3037 defined only in the namespace `std', as with Boost), so that
   3038 compilations could fail.  Thus the check for `INTMAX_C' or `UINTMAX_C'
   3039 is now disabled for C++ compilers, with the following consequences:
   3040 
   3041    * Programs written for MPFR 2.x that need `intmax_t' may no longer
   3042      be compiled against MPFR 3.0: a `#define MPFR_USE_INTMAX_T' may be
   3043      necessary before `mpfr.h' is included.
   3044 
   3045    * The compilation of programs that work with MPFR 3.0 may fail with
   3046      MPFR 2.x due to the problem described above.  Workarounds are
   3047      possible, such as defining `intmax_t' and `uintmax_t' in the global
   3048      namespace, though this is not clean.
   3049 
   3050 
   3051    The divide-by-zero exception is new in MPFR 3.1. However it should
   3052 not introduce incompatible changes for programs that strictly follow
   3053 the MPFR API since the exception can only be seen via new functions.
   3054 
   3055    As of MPFR 3.1, the `mpfr.h' header can be included several times,
   3056 while still supporting optional functions (*note Headers and
   3057 Libraries::).

   3063 ************
   3064 
   3065 The main developers of MPFR are Guillaume Hanrot, Vincent Lefvre,
   3066 Patrick Plissier, Philippe Thveny and Paul Zimmermann.
   3067 
   3068    Sylvie Boldo from ENS-Lyon, France, contributed the functions
   3069 `mpfr_agm' and `mpfr_log'.  Sylvain Chevillard contributed the
   3070 `mpfr_ai' function.  David Daney contributed the hyperbolic and inverse
   3071 hyperbolic functions, the base-2 exponential, and the factorial
   3072 function.  Alain Delplanque contributed the new version of the
   3073 `mpfr_get_str' function.  Mathieu Dutour contributed the functions
   3074 `mpfr_acos', `mpfr_asin' and `mpfr_atan', and a previous version of
   3075 `mpfr_gamma'.  Laurent Fousse contributed the `mpfr_sum' function.
   3076 Emmanuel Jeandel, from ENS-Lyon too, contributed the generic
   3077 hypergeometric code, as well as the internal function `mpfr_exp3', a
   3078 first implementation of the sine and cosine, and improved versions of
   3079 `mpfr_const_log2' and `mpfr_const_pi'.  Ludovic Meunier helped in the
   3080 design of the `mpfr_erf' code.  Jean-Luc Rmy contributed the
   3081 `mpfr_zeta' code.  Fabrice Rouillier contributed the `mpfr_xxx_z' and
   3082 `mpfr_xxx_q' functions, and helped to the Microsoft Windows porting.
   3083 Damien Stehl contributed the `mpfr_get_ld_2exp' function.
   3084 
   3085    We would like to thank Jean-Michel Muller and Joris van der Hoeven
   3086 for very fruitful discussions at the beginning of that project,
   3087 Torbjrn Granlund and Kevin Ryde for their help about design issues,
   3088 and Nathalie Revol for her careful reading of a previous version of
   3089 this documentation. In particular Kevin Ryde did a tremendous job for
   3090 the portability of MPFR in 2002-2004.
   3091 
   3092    The development of the MPFR library would not have been possible
   3093 without the continuous support of INRIA, and of the LORIA (Nancy,
   3094 France) and LIP (Lyon, France) laboratories. In particular the main
   3095 authors were or are members of the PolKA, Spaces, Cacao and Caramel
   3096 project-teams at LORIA and of the Arnaire and AriC project-teams at
   3097 LIP.  This project was started during the Fiable (reliable in French)
   3098 action supported by INRIA, and continued during the AOC action.  The
   3099 development of MPFR was also supported by a grant (202F0659 00 MPN 121)
   3100 from the Conseil Rgional de Lorraine in 2002, from INRIA by an
   3101 "associate engineer" grant (2003-2005), an "opration de dveloppement
   3102 logiciel" grant (2007-2009), and the post-doctoral grant of Sylvain
   3103 Chevillard in 2009-2010.  The MPFR-MPC workshop in June 2012 was partly
   3104 supported by the ERC grant ANTICS of Andreas Enge.

   3157      Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
   3158      of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
   3159 
   3160   0. PREAMBLE
   3161 
   3162      The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
   3163      functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
   3164      assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
   3165      with or without modifying it, either commercially or
   3166      noncommercially.  Secondarily, this License preserves for the
   3167      author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
   3168      being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
   3169 
   3170      This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
   3171      works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
   3172      It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
   3173      license designed for free software.
   3174 
   3175      We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
   3176      free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
   3177      free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
   3178      that the software does.  But this License is not limited to
   3179      software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
   3180      of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.
   3181      We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
   3182      instruction or reference.
   3183 
   3184   1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
   3185 
   3186      This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
   3187      that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
   3188      can be distributed under the terms of this License.  Such a notice
   3189      grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
   3190      to use that work under the conditions stated herein.  The
   3191      "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work.  Any member
   3192      of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".  You
   3193      accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
   3194      way requiring permission under copyright law.
   3195 
   3196      A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
   3197      Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
   3198      modifications and/or translated into another language.
   3199 
   3200      A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
   3201      of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
   3202      publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
   3203      subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
   3204      fall directly within that overall subject.  (Thus, if the Document
   3205      is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
   3206      explain any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of
   3207      historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
   3208      of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
   3209      regarding them.
   3210 
   3211      The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
   3212      titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
   3213      the notice that says that the Document is released under this
   3214      License.  If a section does not fit the above definition of
   3215      Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
   3216      The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections.  If the Document
   3217      does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
   3218 
   3219      The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
   3220      listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
   3221      that says that the Document is released under this License.  A
   3222      Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
   3223      be at most 25 words.
   3224 
   3225      A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
   3226      represented in a format whose specification is available to the
   3227      general public, that is suitable for revising the document
   3228      straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
   3229      composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
   3230      widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
   3231      text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
   3232      formats suitable for input to text formatters.  A copy made in an
   3233      otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
   3234      markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
   3235      modification by readers is not Transparent.  An image format is
   3236      not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text.  A
   3237      copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
   3238 
   3239      Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
   3240      ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
   3241      SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
   3242      standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
   3243      human modification.  Examples of transparent image formats include
   3244      PNG, XCF and JPG.  Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
   3245      can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
   3246      XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
   3247      available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
   3248      produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
   3249 
   3250      The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
   3251      plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
   3252      material this License requires to appear in the title page.  For
   3253      works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
   3254      Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
   3255      work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
   3256 
   3257      A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
   3258      whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
   3259      following text that translates XYZ in another language.  (Here XYZ
   3260      stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
   3261      "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
   3262      To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
   3263      Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
   3264      to this definition.
   3265 
   3266      The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
   3267      which states that this License applies to the Document.  These
   3268      Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
   3269      this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
   3270      implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
   3271      has no effect on the meaning of this License.
   3272 
   3273   2. VERBATIM COPYING
   3274 
   3275      You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
   3276      commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
   3277      copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
   3278      applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
   3279      add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You
   3280      may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
   3281      or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However,
   3282      you may accept compensation in exchange for copies.  If you
   3283      distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
   3284      the conditions in section 3.
   3285 
   3286      You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
   3287      and you may publicly display copies.
   3288 
   3289   3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
   3290 
   3291      If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
   3292      have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
   3293      the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
   3294      enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
   3295      these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
   3296      Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly
   3297      and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies.  The
   3298      front cover must present the full title with all words of the
   3299      title equally prominent and visible.  You may add other material
   3300      on the covers in addition.  Copying with changes limited to the
   3301      covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
   3302      satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
   3303      other respects.
   3304 
   3305      If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
   3306      legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
   3307      reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
   3308      adjacent pages.
   3309 
   3310      If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
   3311      numbering more than 100, you must either include a
   3312      machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
   3313      state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
   3314      which the general network-using public has access to download
   3315      using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
   3316      copy of the Document, free of added material.  If you use the
   3317      latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
   3318      begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
   3319      this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
   3320      location until at least one year after the last time you
   3321      distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
   3322      retailers) of that edition to the public.
   3323 
   3324      It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
   3325      the Document well before redistributing any large number of
   3326      copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
   3327      version of the Document.
   3328 
   3329   4. MODIFICATIONS
   3330 
   3331      You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
   3332      under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
   3333      release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
   3334      the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
   3335      licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
   3336      whoever possesses a copy of it.  In addition, you must do these
   3337      things in the Modified Version:
   3338 
   3339        A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
   3340           distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
   3341           previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
   3342           in the History section of the Document).  You may use the
   3343           same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
   3344           that version gives permission.
   3345 
   3346        B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
   3347           entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
   3348           the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
   3349           principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
   3350           authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
   3351           from this requirement.
   3352 
   3353        C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
   3354           Modified Version, as the publisher.
   3355 
   3356        D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
   3357 
   3358        E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
   3359           adjacent to the other copyright notices.
   3360 
   3361        F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
   3362           notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
   3363           Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
   3364           the Addendum below.
   3365 
   3366        G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
   3367           Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
   3368           license notice.
   3369 
   3370        H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
   3371 
   3372        I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
   3373           and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
   3374           authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
   3375           the Title Page.  If there is no section Entitled "History" in
   3376           the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,
   3377           and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
   3378           then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in
   3379           the previous sentence.
   3380 
   3381        J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
   3382           for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
   3383           likewise the network locations given in the Document for
   3384           previous versions it was based on.  These may be placed in
   3385           the "History" section.  You may omit a network location for a
   3386           work that was published at least four years before the
   3387           Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
   3388           it refers to gives permission.
   3389 
   3390        K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
   3391           Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
   3392           section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
   3393           acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
   3394 
   3395        L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
   3396           unaltered in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers
   3397           or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
   3398           titles.
   3399 
   3400        M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements".  Such a section
   3401           may not be included in the Modified Version.
   3402 
   3403        N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
   3404           "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
   3405           Section.
   3406 
   3407        O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
   3408 
   3409      If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
   3410      appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
   3411      material copied from the Document, you may at your option
   3412      designate some or all of these sections as invariant.  To do this,
   3413      add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
   3414      Version's license notice.  These titles must be distinct from any
   3415      other section titles.
   3416 
   3417      You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
   3418      nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
   3419      parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
   3420      has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
   3421      definition of a standard.
   3422 
   3423      You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
   3424      and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end
   3425      of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one
   3426      passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
   3427      added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the
   3428      Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
   3429      previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
   3430      you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
   3431      replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
   3432      publisher that added the old one.
   3433 
   3434      The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
   3435      License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
   3436      assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
   3437 
   3438   5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
   3439 
   3440      You may combine the Document with other documents released under
   3441      this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
   3442      modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
   3443      all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
   3444      unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
   3445      combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
   3446      their Warranty Disclaimers.
   3447 
   3448      The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
   3449      multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
   3450      copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
   3451      but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
   3452      by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
   3453      original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
   3454      unique number.  Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
   3455      the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
   3456      combined work.
   3457 
   3458      In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
   3459      "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
   3460      Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
   3461      "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications".  You
   3462      must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
   3463 
   3464   6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
   3465 
   3466      You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
   3467      documents released under this License, and replace the individual
   3468      copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
   3469      that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
   3470      rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
   3471      documents in all other respects.
   3472 
   3473      You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
   3474      distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
   3475      a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
   3476      this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
   3477      that document.
   3478 
   3479   7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
   3480 
   3481      A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
   3482      separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
   3483      a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
   3484      copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
   3485      legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
   3486      works permit.  When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
   3487      License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
   3488      are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
   3489 
   3490      If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
   3491      copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
   3492      of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
   3493      on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
   3494      electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
   3495      form.  Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
   3496      the whole aggregate.
   3497 
   3498   8. TRANSLATION
   3499 
   3500      Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
   3501      distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
   3502      4.  Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
   3503      permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
   3504      translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
   3505      original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
   3506      translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
   3507      Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
   3508      include the original English version of this License and the
   3509      original versions of those notices and disclaimers.  In case of a
   3510      disagreement between the translation and the original version of
   3511      this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
   3512      prevail.
   3513 
   3514      If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
   3515      "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
   3516      Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
   3517      actual title.
   3518 
   3519   9. TERMINATION
   3520 
   3521      You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
   3522      except as expressly provided for under this License.  Any other
   3523      attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is
   3524      void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
   3525      License.  However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
   3526      from you under this License will not have their licenses
   3527      terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
   3528 
   3529  10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
   3530 
   3531      The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
   3532      the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.  Such new
   3533      versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
   3534      differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
   3535      `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.
   3536 
   3537      Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
   3538      number.  If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
   3539      version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
   3540      have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
   3541      that specified version or of any later version that has been
   3542      published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.  If
   3543      the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
   3544      you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
   3545      Free Software Foundation.
   3546 
   3547 A.1 ADDENDUM: How to Use This License For Your Documents
   3548 ========================================================
   3549 
   3550 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
   3551 the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
   3552 notices just after the title page:
   3553 
   3554        Copyright (C)  YEAR  YOUR NAME.
   3555        Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
   3556        under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
   3557        or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
   3558        with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
   3559        Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
   3560        Free Documentation License''.
   3561 
   3562    If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
   3563 Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
   3564 
   3565          with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
   3566          the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
   3567          being LIST.
   3568 
   3569    If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
   3570 combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
   3571 situation.
   3572 
   3573    If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
   3574 recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
   3575 free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
   3576 permit their use in free software.
