But there is just one bit of difference: 7e6fffffffffffff 7e70000000000000 (double, high address byte printed first on x86) If stability is desired, mpfr is the one to use. GMP does not aim at stability, as far as I understand. mpfr is specifically "sold" as GMP with correct rounding, even if it has grown beyond that. -Enrique _______________________________________________ Gcl-devel mailing list Gcl-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gcl-devel
