It is +based on the GMP multiple-precision library and should replace the MPF +class in further releases of GMP. + + The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision +floating-point computation which is both efficient and has a well-defined +semantics. It copies the good ideas from the ANSI/IEEE-754 standard for +double-precision floating-point arithmetic (53-bit mantissa). |
