/* This is published for the benefit of "friend" marshal.c only. */

/* Parameters of the long integer representation.  There are two different
   sets of parameters: one set for 30-bit digits, stored in an unsigned 32-bit
   integer type, and one set for 15-bit digits with each digit stored in an
   unsigned short.  The value of PYLONG_BITS_IN_DIGIT, defined either at
   configure time or in pyport.h, is used to decide which digit size to use.

   Type 'digit' should be able to hold 2*PyLong_BASE-1, and type 'twodigits'
   should be an unsigned integer type able to hold all integers up to
   PyLong_BASE*PyLong_BASE-1.  x_sub assumes that 'digit' is an unsigned type,
   and that overflow is handled by taking the result modulo 2**N for some N >
   PyLong_SHIFT.  The majority of the code doesn't care about the precise
   value of PyLong_SHIFT, but there are some notable exceptions:

   - long_pow() requires that PyLong_SHIFT be divisible by 5

   - PyLong_{As,From}ByteArray require that PyLong_SHIFT be at least 8

   - long_hash() requires that PyLong_SHIFT is *strictly* less than the number
     of bits in an unsigned long, as do the PyLong <-> long (or unsigned long)
     conversion functions

   - the long <-> size_t/Py_ssize_t conversion functions expect that
     PyLong_SHIFT is strictly less than the number of bits in a size_t

   - the marshal code currently expects that PyLong_SHIFT is a multiple of 15

  The values 15 and 30 should fit all of the above requirements, on any
  platform.

/* Long integer representation.
   The absolute value of a number is equal to
        SUM(for i=0 through abs(ob_size)-1) ob_digit[i] * 2**(SHIFT*i)
   Negative numbers are represented with ob_size < 0;
   zero is represented by ob_size == 0.
   In a normalized number, ob_digit[abs(ob_size)-1] (the most significant
   digit) is never zero.  Also, in all cases, for all valid i,
        0 <= ob_digit[i] <= MASK.
   The allocation function takes care of allocating extra memory
   so that ob_digit[0] ... ob_digit[abs(ob_size)-1] are actually available.

   CAUTION:  Generic code manipulating subtypes of PyVarObject has to
   aware that longs abuse  ob_size's sign bit.
