Bug with square roots

[Emil Vladov]

Hi guys,

here's the information you have listed on the bug report page:

GMP version: 5.0.5

The program that follows takes sqrt of a long integer, then takes root(2). The resulting numbers are different (and both are wrong).  

#include <gmp.h>

const char* N2 = "999999999543345433645659999999999999123156456489789789789564564231999999999999999999999945665544577654999999999999999999999994654987987564564231999999999999999999999";

#define PR(v) gmp_printf (#v " = %Zd\n", v);

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
   mpz_t N;
   mpz_t sq;
   mpz_t s1;
   
   mpz_init (N);
   mpz_init(sq);
   mpz_init(s1);
   
   mpz_set_str(N, N2, 10);
   
   mpz_sqrt (sq, N);
   mpz_root (s1, N, 2);
  
   PR(sq);
   PR(s1);

   return 0;
}
