Haskell binding to the MPFR library.

MPFR is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point computations with correct rounding.

Goals

• import the MPFR number type and associated operations available in Haskell in two flavours:
  • as pure values + functions and
  • as mutable values and in-place operations in the ST monad

Status

• stable releases on HackageDB
• version 0.3.3 can be built using either integer-gmp or integer-simple BUT using hmpfr with a non-modified integer-gmp causes infrequent serious errors
  • see these notes on how to compile ghc with a modified integer-gmp to prevent a clash with hmpfr (or any other library that uses gmp)
• version 0.3.2 can be used with ghc only if it was compiled with integer-simple instead of integer-gmp
  • see these notes on how to set up ghc and common libraries without integer-gmp
• version 0.3.2 supports mpfr 2.4.* as well as 3.0.0
