llnormalize
returns the min length the limb could be.
Function parameters
Parameters
- a:[]const Limb
Used to indicate either limit of a 2s-complement integer.
Types
- TwosCompIntLimit
- Used to indicate either limit of a 2s-complement integer.
- Mutable
- A arbitrary-precision big integer, with a fixed set of mutable limbs.
- Const
- A arbitrary-precision big integer, with a fixed set of immutable limbs.
- Managed
- An arbitrary-precision big integer along with an allocator which manages the memory.
Returns the number of limbs needed to store `scalar`, which must be a
Functions
- calcLimbLen
- Returns the number of limbs needed to store `scalar`, which must be a
- calcSetStringLimbCount
- Assumes `string_len` doesn't account for minus signs if the number is negative.
- calcNonZeroTwosCompLimbCount
- Compute the number of limbs required to store a 2s-complement number of `bit_count` bits.
- calcTwosCompLimbCount
- Compute the number of limbs required to store a 2s-complement number of `bit_count` bits.
- addMulLimbWithCarry
- a + b * c + *carry, sets carry to the overflow bits
- llcmp
- Returns -1, 0, 1 if |a| < |b|, |a| == |b| or |a| > |b| respectively for limbs.

Implementation
fn llnormalize(a: []const Limb) usize {
var j = a.len;
while (j > 0) : (j -= 1) {
if (a[j - 1] != 0) {
break;
}
}
// Handle zero
return if (j != 0) j else 1;
