Re: [MPFR] Interfacing gmp and mpfr/mpc

[Andreas Enge <andreas.enge@inria.fr>]

With the same participants, we found a bug in the macro version of
mpfr_custom_init_set, which is corrected in the attached patch; the bug
seems to turn all negative numbers into -0.

As a temporary work-around, one may replace in code "mpfr_custom_init_set" by
"(mpfr_custom_init_set)", which forces to call the function with the same name
instead of the macro.

Maybe; here, we tried to use the mpfr and mpc naming schemes, using the names
that these libraries would use if they included our functions. As there are
"GEN" and "pari" as parts of most names, there should be little risk of
duplicate definitions (but maybe mpfr_init_set_real could be renamed to
mpfr_init_set_GENr, or it could be made static).
