What this sentence means (never mind if the example is not the best) is 
that if you cannot write the C code such that there is no temporary, then 
the C++ code won't magically find a way. Even when it is possible, it may 
not always find that way. Also, addmul doesn't prevent the use of a 
temporary, it just uses an internal temporary, which tends to be cheaper.

That would be useless. On the other hand, you can use a custom allocator 
with gmp. This way you can first malloc a large region of memory, then 
initialize the elements of the array in order, and your custom allocator 
can give them consecutive parts of your malloc region.
