We need to factor in the size-dependent algorithms too. While most algorithm choices are made at the mpn level, we need to ensure that mpz makes the correct overlap assumptions wrt mpn.
The final repetition count and operand size choices were made to get good coverage, as measured by automated coverage anaysis. One may argue that end users don't need to run tests which covers the libary. But then remember that compiler bugs affecting GMP are a few orders of magnitude more common than actual GMP bugs. -- Torbjörn Please encrypt, key id 0xC8601622 _______________________________________________ gmp-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-bugs
