mpf_set_d

[Hee Jung Lee]

if you take a look at my sample code, you'll see that i set the default
precision to 400 bits BEFORE i initialized it.  so i expected mpf_set_d
to set my mpf_t number to be the value of my double number & be as
accurate as possible to 400 bits, filling in the additional bits
(after the 64 bits of the double) with zeros.

You can adjust the precision of the mpf structure.

Either with mpf_set_default_prec, which set default precision for subsequent
mpf_init, or with mpf_set_prec, in which case you can change precision of a
specific mpf_t variable.

Note that if you already initialized and assigned a value to an mpf_t,
increasing precision after that won't get you back the precision you lost
during the assignment.  You need to re-assign your variable to it, or use
mpf_set_default_prec before mpf_init.
