Changes for version 3.18

  • Depending upon the rounding mode values, the mpfr library may incorrectly return false for mpfr_fits_u*_p(x) for -1.0 < x < 0.0 or for -0.5 < x <0.0. (This should be fixed in versions of mpfr later than 3.1.2.) Have the Rmpfr_fits_u*_p() functions return correct result irrespective of the version of mpfr being used - and have the Math:MPFR test suite test for this.
  • The 'P' type specifier (precision) wasn't working correctly on big-endian machines when mp_prec_t size is less than IV size. Add a prec_cast function to fix this.
  • Add an _mp_sizes function (not exportable) that returns the sizes of mpfr_exp_t, mpfr_prec_t and mpfr_rnd_t.
  • Add Math::MPFR::_ivsize (not exportable).
  • Add Math::MPFR::_nvsize (not exportable).
  • Correct the Rmpfr_*printf functions so that they croak with an appropriate error message if a rounding arg is supplied but the last arg is not a Math::MPFR object.
