#9281: Rewrite `integer-gmp` to use only non-allocating GMP functions -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: hvr | Owner: hvr Type: task | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: libraries | Version: (other) | Keywords: integer-gmp Resolution: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Differential Revisions: Phab:D82 | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Test Case: Unknown/Multiple | Blocking: Difficulty: Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #8647 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Terrific. It would be good to articulate the goal more explicitly. Is it primarily to improve interop in some way? How does it improve interop? Or is it to do with performance -- unsafe foreign calls are vastly more efficient than safe ones? Why do `integer_gmp_mpn_tdiv_q` etc need to be IO-ish at all? Can't they be pure functions?
