<description>This update for mpfr fixes the following issues:
- Fixed an issue when building for ppc64le (bsc#1141190)
Technical library fixes:
- A subtraction of two numbers of the same sign or addition of two numbers of different signs
can be rounded incorrectly (and the ternary value can be incorrect) when one of the two
inputs is reused as the output (destination) and all these MPFR numbers have exactly
GMP_NUMB_BITS bits of precision (typically, 32 bits on 32-bit machines, 64 bits on 64-bit
machines).
- The mpfr_fma and mpfr_fms functions can behave incorrectly in case of internal overflow or
underflow.
- The result of the mpfr_sqr function can be rounded incorrectly in a rare case near underflow
when the destination has exactly GMP_NUMB_BITS bits of precision (typically, 32 bits on
32-bit machines, 64 bits on 64-bit machines) and the input has at most GMP_NUMB_BITS bits
of precision.
- The behavior and documentation of the mpfr_get_str function are inconsistent concerning the
minimum precision (this is related to the change of the minimum precision from 2 to 1 in
MPFR 4.0.0). The get_str patch fixes this issue in the following way: the value 1 can now be
provided for n (4th argument of mpfr_get_str); if n = 0, then the number of significant digits
in the output string can now be 1, as already implied by the documentation (but the code was
increasing it to 2).
- The mpfr_cmp_q function can behave incorrectly when the rational (mpq_t) number has a null
denominator.
- The mpfr_inp_str and mpfr_out_str functions might behave incorrectly when the stream is a
null pointer: the stream is replaced by stdin and stdout, respectively. This behavior is
useless, not documented (thus incorrect in case a null pointer would have a special meaning),
and not consistent with other input/output functions.
