mpz_out_str is included in mini-gmp, so it would make sense to also include the companion function mpz_inp_str. However, for mini-gmp, we need something considerably simpler than the code in mpz/inp_str.c. Which isn't entirely trivial. Ideally, it should just read the number and pass it on to mpz_set_str. But to detect the end of the number, it first has to parse any base prefix (like "0x"), and then look for the first non-digit. And it's no good to have a lot of code duplication with mpz_set_str. Without thinking very long about it, maybe one could get something reasonable by extracting the digit logic of mpz_set_str to a helper function. We could also consider omitting support for base == 0 for the mini-gmp version of mpz_inp_str, if that makes things simpler. Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP-encrypted email is preferred.
