In preparation for an operation, GMP often allocates one limb more than ultimately needed.
To make sure GMP will not perform reallocation for <spanclass="parameter">x</span>, you need to add the number of bits
in <ahref="bf1f694d-f9b2-6413-12e5-ebae603d5b49.htm">mp_limb_t</a> to <spanclass="parameter">n</span>.
