It was reported on the GMP developer list that 'make check’ failed for the Apple inhouse Clang, and the developers suggested using GCC instead, which however was not available at that time on MacOS 10.15. So I called it “not supported” meaning that they do not actively work on handling such issues, though it may still work. If you have worries for accuracy, you might compile the GMP library using GCC, or turning off optimization with Clang. _______________________________________________ cfe-users mailing list cfe-users@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-users
