Math::BigInt::GMP(3pm)

Usage

    # to use it with Math::BigInt
    use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP';
    # to use it with Math::BigFloat
    use Math::BigFloat lib => 'GMP';
    # to use it with Math::BigRat
    use Math::BigRat lib => 'GMP';

Overview

Math::BigInt::GMP is a backend library for Math::BigInt, Math::BigFloat, Math::BigRat and related modules.

Math::BigInt::GMP provides support for big integer calculations by means of the GMP C library. See <https://gmplib.org/> for more information about the GMP library.

Math::BigInt::GMP no longer uses Math::GMP, but provides its own XS layer to access the GMP C library. This cuts out another (Perl subroutine) layer and also reduces the memory footprint.

Math::BigInt::GMP inherits from Math::BigInt::Lib.

Static functions

$str = gmp_version();

Returns the underlying GMP library's version as a string, e.g., 6.2.1.

Support

After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command.
