Description CaptainBlood 2017-02-09 17:26:15 UTC 
patch level 01 & 02

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Both patches versions are building fine.


Please beware mpfr is highly critical.
No idea whether such patches should be advised!

That is a very strange way of distributing patches...

Nevertheless, here is what the homepage say about the two patches:


Fixed bugs, with patches:

    The formatted output functions (mpfr_*printf) yield an undefined behavior or assertion failure when a precision less than −1 is given as an argument for the f or F conversion specifier (the given precision should have been ignored). This bug is fixed by the vasprintf patch, which also provides test cases.
    Corresponding changeset in the 3.1 branch: 11043.
    The function mpfr_strtofr can return an incorrect ternary value in the round-to-nearest mode (MPFR_RNDN). This bug is fixed by the strtofr patch, which also provides a test case.
    Corresponding changeset in the 3.1 branch: 11069.

- This is the only obvious location in my mind where to push I could think of, beside a public overlay I don't wish to manage nor know how to.

- Any advice how it should have been done are welcome.
