Description: mpz_divexact has not the same result for PPC64, comparing with x86, when division is not exact.
GMP version: 6.0.0 installed by apt-get in Debian.
Test program:
----------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <gmp.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
mpz_t a, b;
mpz_init_set_str (a, "10", 0);
mpz_init_set_str (b, "3", 0);
mpz_divexact(a, a, b);
printf("10 / 3 => %s\n", mpz_get_str (NULL, 0, a));
return 0;
}
----------------
Compile command: gcc -o gmp_test gmp_test.c -lgmp -lm
----------------
Results:
PPC64: "10 / 3 => 3"
x86: "10 / 3 => 12297829382473034414"
