<h3 class="section">5.14 Compatibility With MPF</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A header file <samp>mpf2mpfr.h</samp> is included in the distribution of MPFR for
|
|
compatibility with the GNU MP class MPF.
|
|
By inserting the following two lines after the <code>#include <gmp.h></code> line,
|
|
</p><div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">#include <mpfr.h>
|
|
#include <mpf2mpfr.h>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>any program written for
|
|
MPF can be compiled directly with MPFR without any changes
|
|
(except the <code>gmp_printf</code> functions will not work for arguments of type
|
|
<code>mpfr_t</code>).
|
|
All operations are then performed with the default MPFR rounding mode,
|
|
which can be reset with <code>mpfr_set_default_rounding_mode</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Warning: the <code>mpf_init</code> and <code>mpf_init2</code> functions initialize
|
|
to zero, whereas the corresponding MPFR functions initialize to NaN:
|
|
this is useful to detect uninitialized values, but is slightly incompatible
|
|
with MPF.
|
|
</p>

<dt><a name="index-mpfr_005fset_005fprec_005fraw"></a>Function: <em>void</em> <strong>mpfr_set_prec_raw</strong> <em>(mpfr_t <var>x</var>, mpfr_prec_t <var>prec</var>)</em></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Reset the precision of <var>x</var> to be <strong>exactly</strong> <var>prec</var> bits.
|
|
The only difference with <code>mpfr_set_prec</code> is that <var>prec</var> is assumed to
|
|
be small enough so that the significand fits into the current allocated memory
|
|
space for <var>x</var>. Otherwise the behavior is undefined.

|
|
<dd><p>Return non-zero if <var>op1</var> and <var>op2</var> are both non-zero ordinary
|
|
numbers with the same exponent and the same first <var>op3</var> bits, both
|
|
zero, or both infinities of the same sign. Return zero otherwise.
|
|
This function is defined for compatibility with MPF, we do not recommend
|
|
to use it otherwise.
|
|
Do not use it either if
|
|
you want to know whether two numbers are close to each other; for instance,
|
|
1.011111 and 1.100000 are regarded as different for any value of
|
|
<var>op3</var> larger than 1.

This function does not guarantee the correct rounding on the relative
|
|
difference; it just computes <em>|<var>op1</var>-<var>op2</var>|/<var>op1</var></em>, using the
|
|
precision of <var>rop</var> and the rounding mode <var>rnd</var> for all operations.

respectively.

These functions are only kept for compatibility with MPF, one should

prefer <code>mpfr_mul_2ui</code> and <code>mpfr_div_2ui</code> otherwise.
