Annotation of OpenXM_contrib/gmp/mpz/README, Revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       maekawa     1: This directory contains functions for GMP's integer function layer.
                      2:
                      3: In this version of GMP, integers are represented like in the figure below.
                      4: (Please note that the format might change between every version, and that
                      5: depending on the internal format in any way is a bad idea.)
                      6:
                      7:    most                                least
                      8: significant                 significant
                      9:    limb                                limb

                     20:
                     21: The most significant limb will be non-zero.  The _mp_size field's sign
                     22: reflects the sign of the number.  Its absolute value is the count of limbs
                     23: in the number.
