It is based on the GNU MP library. It aims to extend the class of floating-point numbers provided by the GNU MP library by a precise semantics. The main differences with the mpf class from GNU MP are: * the mpfr code is portable, i.e. the result of any operation does not depend (or should not) on the machine word size mp_bits_per_limb (32 or 64 on most machines); * the precision in bits can be set exactly to any valid value for each variable (including very small precision); * mpfr provides the four rounding modes from the IEEE 754-1985 standard. In particular, with a precision of 53 bits, mpfr should be able to exactly reproduce all computations with double-precision machine floating-point numbers (double type in C), except the default exponent range is much wider and subnormal numbers are not implemented but can be emulated. This version of MPFR is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License. It is permitted to link MPFR to non-free programs, as long as when distributing them the MPFR source code and a means to re-link with a modified MPFR library is provided.
