Math::BigInt::GMP - backend library for Math::BigInt etc. based on GMP

       Tels <http://bloodgate.com/> in 2001-2007.

       Thanks to Chip Turner (CHIPT on CPAN) for providing Math::GMP, which was inspiring my work.

       Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-math-bigint-gmp at rt.cpan.org", or through the web
       interface at <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Create.html?Queue=Math-BigInt-GMP> (requires login). We will be
       notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

       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.

       This  program  is  free  software;  you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl
       itself.

       Math::BigInt::Lib for a description of the API.

       Alternative libraries Math::BigInt::Calc, Math::BigInt::FastCalc, and Math::BigInt::Pari.

       Some of the modules that use these libraries Math::BigInt, Math::BigFloat, and Math::BigRat.

$str=gmp_version();
       Returns the underlying GMP library's version as a string, e.g., 6.2.1.

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