NAME

       Math::BigInt::GMP - backend library for Math::BigInt etc. based on GMP

SYNOPSIS

           # to use it with Math::BigInt
           use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP';

           # to use it with Math::BigFloat
           use Math::BigFloat lib => 'GMP';

           # to use it with Math::BigRat
           use Math::BigRat lib => 'GMP';

DESCRIPTION

       Math::BigInt::GMP is a backend library for Math::BigInt, Math::BigFloat, Math::BigRat and
       related modules.

       Math::BigInt::GMP provides support for big integer calculations by means of the GMP C
       library. See <https://gmplib.org/> for more information about the GMP library.

       Math::BigInt::GMP no longer uses Math::GMP, but provides its own XS layer to access the
       GMP C library. This cuts out another (Perl subroutine) layer and also reduces the memory
       footprint.

       Math::BigInt::GMP inherits from Math::BigInt::Lib.
