Becomes popular? That GMP was first published 1991. So it is more about
it not becoming obsolete and dying of old age than of becoming popular.  But 
it has LGPLv3 and so it gradually evolves by work of those who either improve
it in way they need, hire someone who improve that they need or who
watch that behaviour they need isn't changed/broken in it. Perhaps they need
it in typical number crunching contexts like some algorithms for security and
privacy ... how is it so "niche"? We all like security and privacy. But tools of
geeks who crunch numbers won't ever become popular ... be happy there are
some.

I think you misunderstand what I'm saying.

I'm not talking about whether the library is popular or not. I'm not even
talking about whether it's easily usable in Windows projects or not.

There was an earlier post by someone that asked something about whether
GMP is easy to compile for windows, and then someone responded with
something along the lines that the developers don't need to care
whether it's easy to compile for windows or not.

*That* is what I am objecting to. I think they *should* care, and
that it's important that they care. (I'm not saying that they don't
care. I'm objecting to that idea that they don't need to care.)

Who needs to care? Lets see <https://gmplib.org/manual/Contributors>
You about lead developer Torbjorn Granlund? Or others? Currently more
active  Marco Bodrato,  Niels Möller or Marc Glisse? 
People who did help it with algorithm,  interface or optimizing to alpha,
arm, sparc, powerpc etc.  There have been and solved recurring
issues with MacOS Xcode and Windows compilers like in every 
multi-platform project. Current main doubt seems to be if it works
correctly on Apple's new ARM based computers or not. Like tests
run ... but who knows.

Important compared to what? They seem caring if it works correctly
from crippled pentiums and celerons, all the lakes and coves
of intel and on all the bobcats,  bulldozers and zens of amd. How lot
of velocity you expect from few men? Sometimes they fail like
all mere mortals. During the 3 decades they have had plenty about
what to care and plenty of clueless screaming around whom to
ignore. If you have different toolchain that isn't supported then
contribute the scripts and also needed nodes of continuous 
integration ... otherwise it is you who doesn't care.

One logical way to make the burden easier is to stop maintaining floating-point part of GMP.
Its presence causes nothing, but confusion for novices, until they figure out that they should use mpfr.

I said, and I repeat: I'm not saying that they don't care. I'm
objecting to the idea that they don't need to care.

My objection is not to the GMP developers. My objection is to
whoever said that they don't need to care about whether the library
is easy to compile for Windows.

So you did not answer who of them needs and because of what goals.
I do not understand how to go generic with such things as "they need"
something  or "they don't need" it. Both claims seem faulty on their 
own. For to achieve certain set of goals they indeed need, for other set
of goals it is nice to have at medium priority and also goals where it is
unneeded are conceivable.

If to drop GMP concretely then also ease to build on Windows is no
different. Windows is like on 75% of desktop/laptop computers,  
public internet servers have it below 25%, tablets about 10%,  in
embedded devices very low, smartphones and supercomputers rather
close to 0. So from all computing devices  it is perhaps on about 11%.
It can be bad for a module that it is inconvenient to build on Windows
when target projects are for desktop or laptop, for rest it can be quite
unimportant.

I'm not sure why this is such a big deal. All it needs is for one person 
or one organisation (MS?) to build gmp.dll once. And to make gmp.dll and 
a matching gmp.h available on some web-site.

There's no need for a million potential users to have to repeat the same 
messy process.

However I've never been able to find a repository for such binaries, 
other than perhaps those dodgy download sites.

So if my project had a dependency on gmp.dll, I wouldn't be able to 
point anyone to an official download site.

Maybe I could bundle my version of gmp.dll? That would be a bit like my 
bundling the 55 DLLs of GTK because I used that library. And of course I 
would still need to obtain /my/ binary!

Anyway, this is something I remember needing years ago (I don't think 
there was mini-gmp then, or I wasn't aware of it).

I instead created my own library, smaller, simpler, (much!) slower and 
more limited, but a million times easier to incorporate into my programs.

(Not written in C, but I ported it to C:

   https://github.com/sal55/langs/blob/master/bignum.h
   https://github.com/sal55/langs/blob/master/bignum.c

It does arbitrary precision floats and integers, and uses decimal not 
binary.

Just add the module to the application, eg:

   tcc pidemo.c bignum.c

Or turn it into a DLL (.so will be similar but I can't test it) using:

   tcc -shared bignum.c
)

Agreed, a DLL would be fine for those million potential users who are 
happy with a binary distribution. However, an easy source build would 
also be appreciated by those 10,000 users who want or need to compile it 
by themselves.

Package managers exist for Linux since the beginning, and some are 
available for Windows as well:

https://chocolatey.org/

Or pacman with MSYS2

And - surprise - Windows 11 will have a package manager, too
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Package_Manager

You'd do "choco install libgmp" or "pacman -S libgmp" or similar. I 
haven't checked that gmp is available on either software repos, but this 
is how it looks like iwth other software.

This is possible only for a limited set of small libraries. SQLite is an 
extreme example for this scheme. Real-world applications use C++ and are 
much bigger, there is no way you could package up libreoffice into a 
single self-contained C file.

I find the question of "who of them needs it" to be bizarre. I don't really
understand that question. What exactly do you expect me to answer?
"John Smith desperately needs it, because it will improve his life"?

As for what the goal is, I already said it: The library is quite clearly
intended to be one of the most, if not the most efficient and useful
bignum libraries for scientific research and other similar purposes
that require such calculations. An enormous amount of research and
work has been put into it in order to make it as efficient as possible.
Who knows how many hours in total has been put into making it the
greatest and best library at what it's intended to do.

Thus, if they were to disregard one of the biggest, if not the biggest
desktop operating systems out there (which is the platform most likely
used by those in need of such a library), they are being rather stupid.
All that effort and work, just to rule out a huge bunch of people who
would benefit from the library.

GMP is much less likely to be needed in servers (unless we are talking
about number crunching farms), tablets, embedded devices and smartphones.
Sure, you could do some number theoretic reasearch on your smartphone
using 16384-bit floating point... but I find the usefulness of that
quite unlikely.

The vast majority of such work is done on desktop computers.

I wouldn't agree. Number crunnching in the range where 
Schönhage-Strassen and similar algorithms are actually useful, is 
usually done on high performance computers, and the most wide-spread OS 
there is Linux. HPC clusters with Windows are black swans, they might 
exist but everyone in the world assumes you use Linux and develops for 
that.

I'm not an expert and just found this reference from 2017 in German, 
that 99.6% of HPC clusters in the TOP500 list run Linux and weighted 
with performance it is 99.9%

PS: If you just need big-integer math in a desktop application, most 
likely an easier library serves you better. For example, libtommath
https://www.libtom.net/LibTomMath/ is a reasonably fast bigint library 
written in pure C, it comes as a bunch of files and hand-written 
Makefiles, including Windows Makefiles. As mentioned by Bart, the 
mini-gmp is a cut-down single-file version of GMP. I'm waiting for your 
desktop application where you multiply numbers larger than 100,000 
decimal digits and you desperately need the full fast GMP ;)

You seem to imply that efficient number crunching (eg. for mathematical
or scientific research) is only useful with numbers so large that you
need terabytes of RAM and thousands of parallel processors.

Meanwhile Windows users who are content with megabyte-sized integers
or floating point should use... what? An inferior slower library,
just because GMP is harder to compile for Windows? If you want
the best of the best, better start learning to use Linux? What, you
only use Windows? Sucks being you! Tough luck! No library for you!

I just cannot follow your logic.

Yes, I happen to have looked around in the past for bignum
libraries. They seem to be divided into two main categories:

The ones like GMP (and a few others) that are absolutely gigantic,
do everything between heaven and earth, and tend to be extraordinarily
difficult to compile on something that can't run the configure script
(or targeting a platform other than the current one).

Then the other ones are of the sort "this is just a simple quick&dirty
solution, which isn't even intended to be efficient. If you want
something efficient, use GMP."

So you are kind of stuck. Either use an inefficient library, or try
to figure out how to compile GMP for Windows.

(And, once again: I'm not saying that GMP is difficult to compile for
Windows. I don't know if it is. My objection is not directed at GMP.
It's directed at the people here who are of the opinion that it's
useless for a library like GMP to support easy compilation on Windows.
Although, deducing from what people have written, it seems to indeed
be so that GMP is difficult to compile eg. with Visual Studio.)

No one is saying that it's useless, just not important enough to justify
the work that would be need to be done to make it happen. Since it's the
GMP developers whose time would need to be spent to make it happen, it's
entirely a matter for them to decide how much importance to attach to
that goal.

Yes. Why it is bizarre? They can do their research and publications without
Windows. They apparently want to let people to use it to Windows and
so they have done what is needed for people can use it on Windows.
My question was why they so badly need to.

That goal they have indeed achieved but that they therefore need to 
care about simplicity to build on Windows does not follow. It is non-sequitur.

That effort has been indeed put there and continues to be put there for
to achieve the said goal but it is entirely orthogonal.

Do you represent the scale of difficulty/ease to build for Windows as
boolean? That is bizarre. It is not so and so nothing can be concluded 
from it.

OK, mea culpa, I meant drop GMP developers as you suggested that
your objection is not about them and concentrate on target audience.

Windows desktop computers? Unlikely. My impression is that it is usually
done either on supercomputers (Windows 0%), or distributed to some
server farm (Windows under 25%) or to farm with NVIDIA GPUs (Windows
irrelevant) to use GMP implementation for CUDA ( for example from
Japanese Tsukuba University). 
So it makes sense for fair share of number crunching specialists to say
that  they do not care if GMP can be built for Windows and so to help
them better also the GMP developers should care about it less.  
Simple and not very power hungry need of arbitrary precision integer
arithmetics however can be satisfied by not using GMP but other things
for example Boost.Multiprecision (that has modern interface and is quite
simple to build for very lot of platforms).

GMP is a library aimed at a range of target processors including x64. 
You know, the one can host both Linux AND Windows OSes.

So, if they have a version of GMP streamlined for use on x64, what 
actually stops it being used on Windows (which mainly runs on x64) as 
well as Linux?

This is entirely the wrong thinking. Forget that GMP is a multiprecision 
library; it's just a library. You shouldn't be telling people what they 
should or shouldn't be using. Or making excuses for a poor distribution 
by saying, Oh, this product is too advanced for you anyway; use 
something simpler!

How patronising is that?

Nothing stops, it is IMHO easy to build on Windows. The discussion 
seemed to be if developers *need* to care about that ease and with
how deep passion or not.

Meh? It was suggestion what people *can* do and what I *would* do. I prefer
to choose simplest to use tool that gets it done by default. Only if later is
revealed that it lacks something I migrate. Since Boost.Multiprecision
has GMP integration already in library there are no risks that there will be 
need to migrate, just to extend.

Nothing stops them.  It /can/ be used on Windows.

There may be people developing under Windows that are not experienced or
knowledgable enough to use GMP, but that is hardly the fault of the GMP
developers.  Remember, GMP is not really aimed at people who think it is
cool to calculate factorial 100 - there are more than enough simple
alternatives for that.  It targets a more serious audience, people who
need to do arithmetic with hundred thousand digit numbers as fast as
they can.  If you can't figure out how to use GMP on your system, then
perhaps you are either too ambitious, unwilling to put in the effort, or
you would be better off using something that is less demanding (such as
just doing your calculations in Python, since the Python developers have
done the hard work of integrating GMP in the language).

Note that the GMP manual has included notes on compiling and installing
for Windows (and DOS!) for ages - with a brief google check, I found a
2012 mailing list post which references it, and the manual notes are
almost certainly much older than that.

There is also the MPIR fork of GMP that is easier to build using MSVC.
It doesn't seem to be hugely popular, but that's not surprising (to me)
because this kind of library is rather niche.

Patronising, perhaps - but it seems accurate.

What were /you/ going to use it for?  Big number support is nothing but
a "cool feature" for your language, so that you can claim it is better
than other languages.  At most, someone (i.e., you, since it is your
personal language) might want to do some calculations with numbers of a
few thousand digits for an RSA implementation.  Writing a library with
basic arithmetic at that size is not hard - it's just a "to do" task.
And the result will be relatively small, just like you want it.  It's a
different matter from a library that handles vast numbers with all kinds
of operations, dozens of different algorithms for the operations,
optimisations for many different processors, etc.

Yes, I think the GMP /is/ too big and feature-rich for your needs, and
something smaller would be a lot more practical.  You value size and
simplicity over features that you don't need, which is entirely
reasonable.  This makes your own library better than GMP for your needs.

Or there are dozens of other big number libraries available.

Which is, of course, besides the point for those that think it is important for
the future of C++ to see the expansion of cross platform, widely available
libraries, libraries that other libraries can build on, and easily accessible via 
package managers. I understand that David does not think this is important,
and does not care about it. But David's world of the lone programmer whose
fortitude is tested by their willingness to buckle down and get things to
work is not the only world, and may may not be the most important world.

Best regards,
Daniel
