<p>
The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gmp_float</span></code> back-end
is used in conjunction with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">number</span></code>
: it acts as a thin wrapper around the <a href="http://gmplib.org" target="_top">GMP</a>
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">mpf_t</span></code> to provide an real-number
type that is a drop-in replacement for the native C++ floating-point types,
but with much greater precision.
</p>
<p>
Type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gmp_float</span></code> can be used
at fixed precision by specifying a non-zero <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Digits10</span></code>
template parameter, or at variable precision by setting the template argument
to zero. The typedefs mpf_float_50, mpf_float_100, mpf_float_500, mpf_float_1000
provide arithmetic types at 50, 100, 500 and 1000 decimal digits precision
respectively. The typedef mpf_float provides a variable precision type
whose precision can be controlled via the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">number</span></code>s
member functions.

As well as the usual conversions from arithmetic and string types, instances

from:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
The <a href="http://gmplib.org" target="_top">GMP</a> native types <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">mpf_t</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">mpz_t</span></code>,
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">mpq_t</span></code>.

Things you should know when using this type:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
Default constructed <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">gmp_float</span></code>s
have the value zero (this is the <a href="http://gmplib.org" target="_top">GMP</a>
library's default behavior).
</li>
<li class="listitem">
No changes are made to the <a href="http://gmplib.org" target="_top">GMP</a>
library's global settings, so this type can be safely mixed with existing
<a href="http://gmplib.org" target="_top">GMP</a> code.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
This backend supports rvalue-references and is move-aware, making instantiations
of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">number</span></code> on this backend
move aware.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
It is not possible to round-trip objects of this type to and from a
string and get back exactly the same value. This appears to be a limitation
of <a href="http://gmplib.org" target="_top">GMP</a>.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Since the underlying <a href="http://gmplib.org" target="_top">GMP</a> types
have no notion of infinities or NaN's, care should be taken to avoid
numeric overflow or division by zero. That latter will result in a
std::overflow_error being thrown, while generating excessively large
exponents may result in instability of the underlying <a href="http://gmplib.org" target="_top">GMP</a>
library (in testing, converting a number with an excessively large
or small exponent to a string caused <a href="http://gmplib.org" target="_top">GMP</a>
to segfault).
</li>
<li class="listitem">
This type can equally be used with <a href="http://mpir.org/" target="_top">MPIR</a>
as the underlying implementation - indeed that is the recommended option
on Win32.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Conversion from a string results in a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">runtime_error</span></code>
being thrown if the string can not be interpreted as a valid floating-point
number.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Division by zero results in a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">overflow_error</span></code>
being thrown.
