Heres the original email from gmp-bugs list Hi, Section 3.4 of the manual says: " GMP lets you use the same variable for both input and output in one call." And in Section 5.13, there is no exception for mpz_urandomm(). However the implementation (in 4.2.4, at least), does not allow the first parameter (the result) to be the third one (the bound). See for instance the line 72 of mpz/urandomm.c that compares n and rp, but n can be clobbered just the line before, if it's an alias to rp. So I think this is a bug in the code, or in the documentation (I have no objection to mpz_urandomm() not allowing aliases, but this should be mentioned). Regards, Pierrick. I confirmed that the bug is there , and now it has been fixed. > > 2009/3/15 Jason Moxham <ja...@njkfrudils.plus.com>: > > On Sunday 15 March 2009 17:46:31 Bill Hart wrote: > >> Should we tar it up and call it rc1? > > > > Yep > > > >> Does make dist remove svn dirs?
