For instance? g++ 3.2 -pedantic has no objections to the current code.
For instance Comeau C++ compiler with option --strict and (IIRC, but I don't have it handy at the moment) Intel's icc compiler with the -Xc option (select strict ANSI C/C++ conformance dialect). However, the point is that the code I have indicated violates the standard; as C++ compiler are moving more and more towards standard conformance the problem may show up at any time with any compiler.
- extern "C" typedef void GMP_RANDINIT_DEFAULT(gmp_randstate_t);
Can this be private to gmp_randclass, or given within the definitions of the constructors? If not then they'll want to be prefixed like __gmp_randinit_default_t, or some such.
You are right of course (indeed I was expecting Gerardo, as the father, of the C++ interface, would elaborate on the idea so as to suit his taste). I will provide a better patch at the soonest (since I really hope it could be incorporated in the next GMP's release). All the best
