This directory contains functions for GMP's floating-point function layer. In this version of GMP, floating-point numbers are represented like in the figure below. (Please note that the format might change between every version, and that depending on the internal format in any way is a bad idea.) most least significant significant limb limb _mp_d / / \/ <-- _mp_exp --> ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ |____|____|____|____|____| . <------------- radix point <------- _mp_size -------> The most significant limb will be non-zero. The _mp_exp field is the distance in number of limbs from the radix point to the most significant limb; it will be positive iff the absolute value of the number is >= 1. The _mp_size field's sign reflects the sign of the number. Its absolute value is the count of limbs in the number.
