Hi, To contribute code, you only need to license it so it can be distributed. At present MPIR is overall LGPL and thus if you want to contribute we ask that developers license it in a way fully compatible with "LGPL version 2 (or at the user's option an later version)". You can simply take the template from one of the files we have modified if you like.
There is no C++ as such, only a C++ wrapper for C functionality. I think for the time being it is wise to avoid C++ for the main language for MPIR. It should use C throughout. However, via the C++ template files we can happily include C++ wrappers for any functions you include in C. There aren't published coding standards yet. At present we are essentially trying to follow Torbjorn Granlund's example and write in his style, though this is actually not trivial. So long as your code does not look radically different from files already in the distro, other developers may clean them up if any changes need to be made. At some point we will definitely produce some kind of coding standard however. I am personally away for the next 3 days without computer access. But when I return I will be happy to help you with figuring out which directories files should go into. Obviously we are happy to have developers contribute their code.
