  However the GMP code is poorly written.

    mp_size_t n = 1 + (2 * an >= 3 * bn ? (an - 1) / (size_t) 3 : (bn - 1) >> 1);

  What's the point of the cast to size_t?

It is a slight performance optimisation.

  Moreover, GMP favors signed arithmetic with a signed type mp_size_t,
  thus artificially switching to unsigned arithmetic with this cast is
  a bad idea.

Why?  We have full control of the ranges of the involved variables.
