I don’t like your comment on Apple reserving x18 for platform purposes on the GMP home page.
That's unfortunate indeed.
But despite your disapproval here, I think we should inform our users
about potential problems with GMP on specific platforms.
The ARM ABI documentation
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ihi0055/latest says very
clearly for several years
Your point being?
Therefore I would prefer not to blame Apple for using x18 on ARM as you like as GMP developers.
"Blame"?
Man, there is no pleasing everybody.
