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.

STATIC FUNCTIONS
   $str = gmp_version();
       Returns the underlying GMP library's version as a string, e.g., 6.2.1.
