Consider the following:

mpf_init2(m, 2000);
mpf_set_str(m, "2.0", 10);
printf("%d", m->_mp_size);

This says that m has 65 limbs, which is of course unsatisfactory. How 
can I scale the size to the minimum number of limbs so as to avoid 
bloating? Thanks.

Consider the following:


<fixed>mpf_init2(m, <color><param>0000,0000,FFFF</param>2000</color>);

mpf_set_str(m, <color><param>8989,1313,1515</param>"2.0"</color>,
<color><param>0000,0000,FFFF</param>10</color>);

printf(<color><param>8989,1313,1515</param>"%d", m->_mp_size</color>);</fixed>
