Branch: pkgsrc-2014Q4, Version: 3.1.2pl11, Package name: mpfr-3.1.2pl11, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point
computations with exact rounding (also called correct rounding). It is
based on the GMP multiple-precision library and should replace the MPF
class in further releases of GMP.

The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision
floating-point computation which is both efficient and has a well-defined
semantics. It copies the good ideas from the ANSI/IEEE-754 standard for
double-precision floating-point arithmetic (53-bit mantissa).
