Subject: _from_bytes() in Math::BigInt::GMP
Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2016 08:15:34 -0500
To: bug-math-bigint-fastcalc [...] rt.cpan.org, bug-math-bigint [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Felipe Gasper <felipe [...] felipegasper.com>
I’m not sure whether this failure is proper to ::GMP for missing the method, or to M::BI for failing to check that it’s supported, but: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/4d6c6a9e-c747-11e6-a2f1-817f9d9b1d4e Thank you for your time! -Felipe Gasper

The from_bytes() and as_bytes() methods require Math::BigInt::GMP v1.6000 or newer. I'm note sure what is the best way to handle this. The simplest is probably to have a note displayed by Makefile.PL. Another option is to make Math::BigInt die if the backend library does not support a particular method.

- Makefile.PL now displays a message if the backend libraries installed are too old to support the new methods. - The new methods requiring new version of the backend libraries croak() if the required library method can't be found.
