/* Parameters of the long integer representation.
   These shouldn't have to be changed as C should guarantee that a short
   contains at least 16 bits, but it's made changeable any way.
   Note: 'digit' should be able to hold 2*MASK+1, and 'twodigits'
   should be able to hold the intermediate results in 'mul'
   (at most MASK << SHIFT).
   Also, x_sub assumes that 'digit' is an unsigned type, and overflow
   is handled by taking the result mod 2**N for some N > SHIFT.
   And, at some places it is assumed that MASK fits in an int, as well. */

/* 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 fuction takes care of allocating extra memory
   so that ob_digit[0] ... ob_digit[abs(ob_size)-1] are actually available. */
