Subject: [Boost-users] constructing rationals from mpfr_floats [multiprecision]

Hi,
1) I am getting signaling due to division by 0. The following lines are
faulty:
mpfr_float p("1.1");
mpq_rational q(p);
signal: integer divide by zero;
whereas this succeeds:
mpq_rational q(1.1);
any one seen this before? i'm on compiler Apple LLVM version 8.0.0
(clang-800.0.38) ,with homebrew-provided boost 1.64, mpfr 3.1.5, gmp 6.1.2.

2) I also expected to be able to construct rationals as
mpq_rational q("1.1")
but it fails to parse using the built-in constructor. i mean, i understand
why (1.1 isn't a rational), but given that i can construct a rational from
a double, i figured that i'd get something reasonable from "1.1", namely
11/10.

thanks!

ps i am not disabling mixed double-multiprecision arithmetic in this
scenario, in case you have been reading my other questions this last week
