hi there,
is there anyone who has got some experiences with gmp 5.0.1 or other release and would be willing to answer my dumb question ?
Thank you

There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers.

Ask away, someone will probably answer it.

GMP is not *officially* supported under windows, why do you want to use it in windows platform ?
Use MPIR instead.

That would probably be my fault, I said this in another posting:

I would look into Arbitrary-precision arithmetic (AKA bignum arithmetic).

Something like: http://gmplib.org/

The question is, what is he trying to do that would require arbitrary precision?

yep Grey Wolf, thats where I got the idea from :-) Appreciate your help anyway.
and yes I want to see how far I can get. I wanna experiment a bit with bignum up to a 100,000,000 digits is there any chance that MPIR would be up for a job ???
and thank you all for your anwers

Probably. Most big num libs restrict you mainly on the amount of memory your system offers, and on the resources required to perform operations on such numbers.
