Yes, it should say that. The next version will include this fix.
Thanks for mentioning it.

I've made some changes to to FAQ, below, to reflect the new comments
on the GMP website about MPIR, and also to address Jeff's questions
about parallel support in MPIR:

Nice! I learned two new things today, built-in support for OpenMP in
both gcc and MSVC. If only that was availabl

Support for parallel processing can make demands on people's compiler,
because ultimately there is no point writing parallel code for very
old machines and newer machines will have newer compilers. If you are
really serious about performance and using multi core machines, you
are probably going to

I guess it is the only thing I know, so maybe I should move to OpenMP. ;-)

That is an interesting question. pthreads is certainly available on
much older compilers. But the issue is, it is very hard to code.
Essentially OpenMP does all the hard work for you, keeping threads
alive when they are not in use, managing all the pointers to your
data, etc.
I'd be interested i

Here is an updated FAQ with some changes based on suggestions made in
incidental discussion I happened to have with people by email. There's
no point in putting too much into an initial FAQ. The idea here is to
get one started, and as questions get regularly asked, fill the
answers in. But here's

Q. What does it mean that MPIR is developer friendly?
A. We have a zero tolerance policy with respect to being rude to
potential developers and users. We do all we can to answer questions

I have 8 minutes before I need to go out again, so here is 8 minutes
