Public bug reported:
In one of our projects we use Mpz_Init_Set_Str(). In the bindings of
previous versions of libgmpada this was defined as follows:
procedure Mpz_Init_Set_Str (Result : out int;
Rop : out Mpz_T;
Str : in char_array;
Base : in int);
pragma Import (C, Mpz_Init_Set_Str, "mpz_init_set_str",
"__gmpz_init_set_str");
pragma Import_Valued_Procedure (Mpz_Init_Set_Str);
However, in version 1.6 of the bindings it was changed to a function as
follows (similar for other uses of Import_Valued_Procedure):
function Mpz_Init_Set_Str (Rop : out Mpz_T;
Str : in char_array;
Base : in int)
return int;
pragma Import (C, Mpz_Init_Set_Str, "mpz_init_set_str",
"__gmpz_init_set_str");
This means that calling Mpz_Init_Set_Str() is not possible in a
backwards compatible way. Which is an issue as our project is also used
on older Ubuntu/Debian releases that don't ship 1.6 yet.
Would it be possible to re-add the procedure to the API?
