mpf_div Bug in MSVC GMP-4.1.2 and GMP-4.1.3

[Mike Loehr]

Greetings;

There seems to be an error in the mpf_div function under MSVC.

If I send it 2 positive numbers, it works fine, but if I send a negative of
one of the same numbers it crashes.

The message is:  The instruction at "0x73dd1351" referenced memory at
"0x00000004", The memory could not be "read".

I have tried the binaries from several sources and also compiled my own
gmp.dll using the Core_V1.6  revisions.
There is no change in the functionality or the result. (Trinity's Pentium
version didn't allow the application to function although it linked without
errors)

Other mpf functions work (i.e. mpf_mul, mpf_init, mpf_sub) so I believe that
the DLLs are all functional.

Here's the snip of code:
  
  mpf_t n , d ;
  mpf_t nn1x , nn1y , nn1z ;
  
  mpf_init (n);
  mpf_init (d);
  mpf_init (nn1x);
  
/*  Test Code */
  mpf_set_d ( n , 1228.07 );  // N1[0] = -1228.07
  mpf_set_d ( d , 1081035.19771 ); // D1
  mpf_div ( nn1x , n , d );  //  This works
/*  End Test Code */

  mpf_set_d ( n , N1[0] );   // N1[0] = -1228.07

  mpf_set_d ( d , D1 );  // D1 = 1081035.19771 
/*  Test Code */
  printf("\nGMP  n = %f   d= %f ", mpf_get_d(n) , mpf_get_d(d));  //
Confirms n = 1228.07 & d = 1081035.19771 
/*  End Test Code */

  mpf_div ( nn1x , n , d );  //  This fails with or without the previous
test set code

 

Here's the System Data:

I'm building an application that is implemented as a DLL.  This
configuration compiles against GLib and GTS (all recent versions)
successfully in the same application.

Any assistance that you can provide will be appreciated.  I hope I haven't
missed something, I hate being a bonehead.

Thanks

Mike
