-Subject: [PATCH] Fix mpfr_custom_get_kind() macro bug.
-
-* src/mpfr.h: in the mpfr_custom_get_kind() macro, changed mpfr_ptr to
-  mpfr_srcptr for _x to agree with the function prototype, in order to
-  avoid a compilation failure of user code in some cases. This bug was
-  introduced by commit 9f94e0311ed53d0c64d4fbca249d19cc4888027e, which
-  introduced the temporary variable _x to avoid an incorrect number of
-  evaluations of the x argument.
-* tests/tstckintc.c: improved the tests to detect this bug.
-
-This should fix mpfr bug #1.
-
-Bug initially reported by FX Coudert:
-  https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/issues/7064
-
-It affects Fedora Linux:
-  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2144197
