Previously, mpz was restricted to using at most 15 bits in each digit,
where a digit was a uint16_t.
With this patch, mpz can use all 16 bits in the uint16_t (improvement
to mpn_div was required). This gives small inprovements in speed and
RAM usage. It also yields savings in ROM code size because all of the
digit masking operations become no-ops.
Also, mpz can now use a uint32_t as the digit type, and hence use 32
bits per digit. This will give decent improvements in mpz speed on
64-bit machines.
Test for big integer division added.
This removes mpz_as_int, since that was a terrible function (it
implemented saturating conversion).
Use mpz_as_int_checked and mpz_as_uint_checked. These now work
correctly (they previously had wrong overflow checking, eg
print(chr(10000000000000)) on 32-bit machine would incorrectly convert
this large number to a small int).
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files. Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.
Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.
Made solely to unbreak int-long.py test which in turn uncovered thinko
with implementation of inplace ops. On mpz level, bitwise ops implemented
only for same-sign numbers, and are not efficient (unconditional calling of
mpn_cmp() is apparently superfluous).
Implement not, shl and shr in mpz library. Add function to create mpzs
on the stack, used for memory efficiency when rhs is a small int.
Factor out code to parse base-prefix of number into a dedicated function.
