Are you famiiar with valgrind? It is a great tool for detecting memory
leaks. I used it to oonfirm that GMP indeed does not leak for your test
cases. (You seem to have forgotten to mention the system you used for
these experiments; I used an amd64 cpu running debian.)
Your analysis of what is
Dear Susumu tsukamoto,
I tried valgrind with the following simplified program and it shows no memory
leak:
$ cat test_mul.c
#include "gmp.h"
int main()
{
long int num = 20; // 200,000,000
long int ik;
mpz_t DC;
printf(" start: num= %'ld \n", num);
y in so end \n");
scanf("%s", dm);
}

Your analys
Your analysis is very likely incorrect.
You may cause the same "leak" without GMP. Just malloc a set of large
chunks of different sizes. Access them to make sure it is actually
there, then free them in some random order. Often the free calls will
not have given back the memory to the system.
Dear GMP developers,
I am making a program that calculate pi using GMP.
There is a memory leak that seems to be the cause of GMP.
It seems that a memory leak occurs when a huge number of digits
multiplying and square root calculation.
The following test program(test_mul.c, test_sqrt.c) causes a
