From: "k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun) via ruby-core" Date: 2024-06-11T18:07:47+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:118294] [Ruby master Feature#20524] mswin and gmp Issue #20524 has been updated by k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun). Tracker changed from Bug to Feature Backport deleted (3.1: WONTFIX, 3.2: WONTFIX, 3.3: REQUIRED) seems like a new feature to me too. I won't backport it to 3.3. ---------------------------------------- Feature #20524: mswin and gmp https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20524#change-108799 * Author: MSP-Greg (Greg L) * Status: Closed ---------------------------------------- Currently, the `vcpkg.json` file exists, and it can be used to specify what MSFT/vcpkg packages to install, and also a repo commit, which will determine the what package versions are used. The file lists the gmp package. 1. To use the gmp package in mswin, `win32/configure.bat` shows an option of `--with-gmp`. This option is not used in the `windows.yml` workflow file, nor is it mentioned in `doc/windows.md`. 2. When using the option, the build fails when compiling `bignum.c`, as it can���t find `gmp.h`. It appears the vcpkg include folder is not being passed to `cl`? So, it seems a few things are amiss. `gmp` was added a long time ago. With current mswin builds, will `gmp` improve `Bignum`���s performance? Is that unknown? If there are benchmarks to determine this, I could certainly run them��� -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
