#include <boost/multiprecision/gmp.hpp>
namespace boost{ namespace multiprecision{ class gmp_int; typedef number<gmp_int > mpz_int; }} // namespaces
The gmp_int
back-end is
used via the typedef boost::multiprecision::mpz_int
.
It acts as a thin wrapper around the GMP
mpz_t
to provide an integer
type that is a drop-in replacement for the native C++ integer types, but
with unlimited precision.
As well as the usual conversions from arithmetic and string types, type
mpz_int
is copy constructible
and assignable from:
mpf_t
, mpz_t
,
mpq_t
.
number<T>
that are wrappers around those
types: number<gmp_float<N> >
, number<gmp_rational>
.
It's also possible to access the underlying mpz_t
via the data()
member function of gmp_int
.
Things you should know when using this type:
gmp_int
s
have the value zero (this is GMP's default behavior).
std::ios_base::oct
or std::ios_base::hex
are set, will result in a std::runtime_error
will be thrown.
std::runtime_error
being thrown if the string can not be interpreted as a valid integer.
std::overflow_error
being thrown.
