GMP's C++ interface currently does not support constructors and accessors taking long-longs and long-doubles. Are there any plans to relax this limitation, at least as far as long-longs are concerned?
The problem for the C functions is outlined in tasks.html. I'd like to add longlong conversions for gcc, and worry later about other possible compilers with or without that type.
For C++ is longlong is always available? If there's no risk of a missing type then I guess we could do something about conversions for mpz_class etc, even if initially they come out as slightly bloated code.
All the compilers I use (i.e., g++, Comeau and Intel C++ compiler) do have longlong. I don't know about other compilers. I am pretty sure that longlong will become standard in C++ as is now in C (there is a rather strong consensus on this). I really think it would be nice for GMP to support longlongs. Cheers,
