mpz_array_init warnings

[John Tromp]

dear GMP experts,

I have a piece of code:

  mpz_t *olda, *newa;
                                                                                
  olda = (mpz_t *)calloc(cnt, sizeof(mpz_t));
  assert(olda != NULL);
  printf("allocated space for %d references of size %d\n", cnt, sizeof(mpz_t));
  mpz_array_init(olda, cnt, nbits);

that gives me the following warnings

legal.c:30: warning: passing arg 1 of `__gmpz_array_init' from incompatible pointer type

Yet the documentation states the type of the first argument as mpz_t[].
Isn't that the same as *mpz_t?

How do I get rid of these warnings?

I cannot declare olda as an array since I compute its size dynamically
and it can be 100s of millions of entries long...

regards,
