hmm apparently my source code was deleted. Something to do with the '>>"


relevant code:

GMPfWrapper>>asString



     |exp aString|
     exp := ByteArray new:4.
     aString := ByteString new: 12.   "for 10 digits"
     self prim___gmpf_get_str: aString WithExp:exp.
     ^aString

GMPfWrapper>>prim___gmpf_get_str: aString WithExp:exp

"Function: char * mpf_get_str (char *str, mp_exp_t *expptr, int base, 
size_t n_digits, mpf_t op)"
<primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin error: 
errorCode>

     ^ self nbCall: #( void __gmpf_get_str ( char *aString,  
NBSignedLong * exp, 10,  10, mpf_t gmpf))
