Yes, you need to init an mpz, before clear-ing it. But, as Marc
underlined, this will not imply a heap allocation, with the current
development code.

I'm not an expert about C++, at all. Could you please write here how the
GMP_API forces to write the constructors you are speaking about, and how
you would like to write them instead?
