Marc - Thanks for your response. After some investigation, it appears that the only changes needed are in autoconf, so I don't think anything needs to be done to libgmp for the moment. Once things have stabilized, we may be able to see about how to get a computer in the compile farm. For now,

I created a web page for tracking the mini-gmp problems: https://gmplib.org/devel/mini-gmp-status.html I'd like to stress that mini-gmp problems do not affect the quality of GMP itself. GMP uses mini-gmp for some bootstrapping tasks, but that's known to work properly for both 32-bit and

Help stabilising mini-gmp

2016-11-14 Thread Torbjörn Granlund
I recently enabled automated testing of mini-gmp, the little library-in-the-library which comes with GMP. It has thus far discovered these problems: 1. GMP_CHECK_RANDOMIZE is not always printed for failing tests. This makes it hard to reproduce intermittent failures. It needs to be
