This is accomplished by applying mpn_sqrtrem to either 2*prec or 2*prec-1 limbs, both such sizes resulting in prec limbs. The choice between 2*prec or 2*prec-1 limbs is based on the input exponent. With b=2^GMP_NUMB_BITS the limb base then we can think of effectively taking out a factor b^(2k), for suitable k, to get to an integer input of the desired size ready for mpn_sqrtrem. It must be an even power taken out, ie. an even number of limbs, so the square root gives factor b^k and the radix point is still on a limb boundary. So if EXP(r) is even we'll get an even number of input limbs 2*prec, or if EXP(r) is odd we get an odd number 2*prec-1. Further limbs below the 2*prec or 2*prec-1 used don't affect the result and are simply truncated. This can be seen by considering an integer x, with s=floor(sqrt(x)). s is the unique integer satisfying s^2 <= x < (s+1)^2. Notice that adding a fraction part to x (ie. some further bits) doesn't change the inequality, s remains the unique solution. Working suitable factors of 2 into this argument lets it apply to an intended precision at any position for any x, not just the integer binary point. If the input is smaller than 2*prec or 2*prec-1, then we just pad with zeros, that of course being our usual interpretation of short inputs. The effect is to extend the root beyond the size of the input (for instance into fractional limbs if u is an integer). */ void mpf_sqrt (mpf_ptr r, mpf_srcptr u) { mp_size_t usize; mp_ptr up, tp; mp_size_t prec, tsize; mp_exp_t uexp, expodd; TMP_DECL; usize = u->_mp_size; if (usize <= 0) { if (usize < 0) SQRT_OF_NEGATIVE; r->_mp_size = 0; r->_mp_exp = 0; return; } TMP_MARK; uexp = u->_mp_exp; prec = r->_mp_prec; up = u->_mp_d; expodd = (uexp & 1); tsize = 2 * prec - expodd; r->_mp_size = prec; r->_mp_exp = (uexp + expodd) / 2; /* ceil(uexp/2) */ /* root size is ceil(tsize/2), this will be our desired "prec" limbs */ ASSERT ((tsize + 1) / 2 == prec); tp = (mp_ptr) TMP_ALLOC (tsize * BYTES_PER_MP_LIMB); if (usize > tsize) { up += usize - tsize; usize = tsize; MPN_COPY (tp, up, tsize); } else { MPN_ZERO (tp, tsize - usize); MPN_COPY (tp + (tsize - usize), up, usize); } mpn_sqrtrem (r->_mp_d, NULL, tp, tsize); TMP_FREE; }
