I'm trying to write some GMP functions but am not sure about
how and where to use pointers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
// alfa.c
# include <R.h>
# include <gmp.h>
void Createinteger (char *A, mpz_t *N)
{mpz_init(*N); mpz_set_str(*N,A,10);}
void Stringofinteger (mpz_t *X, char ** A)
{*A=mpz_get_str(0,10,*X);}
void Square (mpz_t *X, mpz_t *Y)
{mpz_mul(*X,*X,*Y);}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
R-source:
Square = function (x) {u=0; .C('Createinteger',x,u);
.C('Square',u,u); # (*)
.C('Stringofinteger',u,a); a}
u=Square('105')
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As output I obtain always 1 2 3, also if omitting (*).
Someone who knows better? Is there already some package for GMP or
similar multiprecision libraries?
