Bitwise logic gmpxx.h problems

[Joppe Bos]

I am not an experienced C++ hacker but the problem of these
compiler errors are the following lines in gmpxx.h:

__GMPP_DECLARE_COMPOUND_OPERATOR(operator&=)
__GMPP_DECLARE_COMPOUND_OPERATOR(operator|=)
__GMPP_DECLARE_COMPOUND_OPERATOR(operator^=)

__GMPZZ_DEFINE_COMPOUND_OPERATOR(operator&=, __gmp_binary_and)
__GMPZZ_DEFINE_COMPOUND_OPERATOR(operator|=, __gmp_binary_ior)
__GMPZZ_DEFINE_COMPOUND_OPERATOR(operator^=, __gmp_binary_xor)

Replacing the double PP and ZZ by single ones solves the problem.

Best regards,

Joppe Bos
