Hi all,

I am working on a project that makes use of gmp and started to do some
simple tests with exception handling.

I noticed that two functions (in mpz_class, mpq_class, mpf_class)

int set_str(const char *s, int base)

and

int set_str(const std::string &s, int base)

simply modify the internal mp object in their respective classes by
calling the appropriate

int mp*_set_str(const char *s, int base)

function.

The constructor methods, on the other hand, do throw exceptions when
the string literal cannot be converted.

Shouldn't these methods also perform exception handling?
