  If the mpz_mul in your below example cannot alloc memory, it should, in my

  ignore that, tough luck.
  
"The error flag"?

And return (NULL) how and where?  You also wrote "I wasn't proposing to
change all the function prototypes to return errors".

I think I can sum up this discussion now:

Please change GMP so that handing of out-of-memry conditions magically
becomes nice and easy.
