Re: GMP does not check for memory allocation failures

That is not true.  It is done in memory.c (__gmp_default_allocate,
__gmp_default_reallocate).

If you replace these functions (by means of mp_set_memory_functions)
with non-checking functions, then you statement might become true, but
then that's the choice of the user.

(It is a different matter that GMP can run of out stack space, and
like any other C program, that is a condition one cannot easily check
for.)
