Log Message:
gmp: updated to 6.3.0
Changes between GMP version 6.2.* and 6.3.*.
BUGS FIXED
* A possible overflow of type int is avoided for mpz_cmp on huge operands.
* A possible error condition when a malformed file is read with
mpz_inp_raw is now correctly handled.
FEATURES
* New public function mpz_prevprime, companion of the existing
mpz_nextprime.
* New documented pointer types mpz_ptr, mpz_srcptr, and similar for
other GMP types. Refer to the manual for full list and suggested
usage. These types have been present in gmp.h at least since
GMP-4.0, but previously not advertised to users.
* Support for 64-bit Arm under Macos.
* Support for the loongarch64 CPU family.
* Support for building with LTO, link-time optimisations.
SPEEDUPS
* New special code for base = 2 in mpz_powm reduces the average time
for the functions that test primality.
* Speedup for the function mpz_nextprime on large operands.
* Speedup for multiplications (some sizes only) thanks to new
internal functions to compute small negacyclic products.
* Special assembly code for IBM z13 and later "mainframe" CPUs, \
resulting in
a huge speedup.
* Improved assembly for several 64-bit x86 CPUs, Risc-V, 64-bit Arm.
