mp_radix_size pointer type incorrect in some versions of tommath

[mborland]

From the users ML:

I tried to use boost muiltiprecision with Visual Studio 2022, 64 bit and got the following error message:

boost\multiprecision\tommath.hpp(444,36): error C2664: 'mp_err mp_radix_size(const mp_int *,int,size_t *)': cannot convert argument 3 from 'int *' to 'size_t *'

I used tommath.h from

https://github.com/libtom/libtommath/blob/develop/tommath.h

that has (line 583)

  mp_err mp_radix_size(const mp_int *a, int radix, size_t *size) MP_WUR;

but boost\multiprecision\tommath.hpp, lineS 443/444 are

  int s;
  detail::check_tommath_result(mp_radix_size(const_cast< ::mp_int*>(&m_data), base, &s));

I compared with cygwin, there tommath.h is

  mp_err mp_radix_size(const mp_int *a, int radix, int *size) MP_WUR;

So I am not sure: do I need some different tommath for Visual Studio 2022, 64 bit, or should boost\multiprecision\tommath.hpp be changed?

Which years ago, but doesn't seem to have ever made release.
