Jon Wilkening at Berkeley has written a nice C++ wrapper around GMP,
so that the code can look quite natural unlike C code using GMP.

http://math.berkeley.edu/~wilken/code/gmpfrxx/

I seem to recall I persuaded him to release the code under GPL,
as I used it in a project a few years ago and we corresponded then.

I am not sure if the wrapper handles complex numbers at this point,
though.
