Arrays in GMP

[gijunior]

an someone please help me with this. I have read the manual and I just dont get how to create a dynamic array.


normally id do -
Code:
int *p;
int elements;
elements = /*changes everytime*/
p = calloc(elements, sizeof(int));


but with the GMP im stuck with simple initialisation

Code:
void mpz_array_init (mpz t integer_array [], size t array_size,
mp size t fixed_num_bits )


i can't find anything explanitary about the args for above function.


Can anyone help, or do they have a bit of code they have used to corroborate the little i understand from the manual?

Muchos thanks

This is just pure guesswork: I don't have a GMP manual, but as a hacker, this is what I'd do. Maybe you shouldn't create an array of int. It is probably something like

mpz_t* p;
size_t elements;
mp_size_t bits;

elements = /* whatever */
bits = /* whatever */
p = calloc (elements, sizeof (mpz_t));
mpz_array_init (p, elements, bits);
