flint_mpn_pow_bound_limbs
Synopsis
#include <flint/mpn_extras.h>Returns an upper bound for the number of limbs of , including one limb of slack for the intermediate products of flint_mpn_pow. Requires . For small results the bound is used; otherwise is evaluated in double precision from the top two limbs and rounded up, which is essentially tight also for small bases with large exponents.
