[PPL-devel] C++ interface and mpz_addmul

Hi there,

it seems that C++ statements of the form

a += b*c

for a, b and c of type mpz_class, are not translated by the C++ interface into an invocation of mpz_addmul.

The reason I am asking is twofold: on the one hand, expressions like that are quite common in several applications and they usually occur in critical computation paths (e.g., applications computing zillions of scalar products); on the other hand, the template machinery used to implement the C++ interface of GMP would seem powerful enough to do the right thing. Am I missing something? If not, are there any plans to enhance the C++ interface so as to capture this case? Thanks a lot
