Gnu Mpc is a C library for the arithmetic of complex numbers with arbitrarily high precision and correct rounding of the result. It is built upon and follows the same principles as Gnu Mpfr .
It is a prerequisite for the Gnu compiler collection Gcc since version 4.5, where it is used in the C and Fortran frontends for constant folding, the evaluation of constant mathematical expressions during the compilation of a program. Since 2011, it is an official Gnu project.
2011 has seen the first release of the major version 1.0.
