ca_get_acb, ca_get_acb_accurate_parts
#include <flint/ca.h>Sets res to an enclosure of the value of x, increasing the working precision until the result has a relative accuracy of prec bits, or for the accurate_parts version until the real and the imaginary part separately have prec accurate bits.
The precision starts at about prec and is doubled up to the larger of twice the initial precision and CA_OPT_PREC_LIMIT. At some point an exact test is made, so that an exact zero (or a real or imaginary number, for the accurate_parts version) gives an exact zero (or zero imaginary or real part) instead of a ball that only contains zero. Use acb_rel_accuracy_bits to check whether the requested accuracy was reached. The output is not rounded to prec bits; call acb_set_round for this.
