nettrash-a 0.1.29

//! Multiplication of [`Number`]s: `*` and `*=`, with either operand owned or borrowed.
//!
//! The magnitude of a product is the product of the magnitudes, and it is negative when exactly
//! one operand is and neither is zero. A zero magnitude is zero whatever `negative` says, and
//! zero bytes above the most significant one count for nothing.
//!
//! Operands whose vectors both hold at most 16 bytes take a short path in registers: their
//! magnitudes are read into `u128`s as the addition reads them, multiplied into four limbs, and
//! the product, at most 32 bytes, is written in the byte order of the left operand. Up to 32 bytes
//! each, the general path does the same with four limbs an operand and a product of eight, and up
//! to 48 with six and a product of twelve, in registers too.
//!
//! Longer operands are read into limbs of eight bytes, native `u64`s, the least significant first,
//! in working memory: a buffer in the operator's own frame when the operands have at most
//! [`MEDIUM_LIMBS`] limbs together, which the schoolbook kernels multiply directly; otherwise a
//! buffer on the stack of [`STACK_LIMBS`] limbs, or one on the heap past it, for the operands, the
//! product and the scratch of Karatsuba's and Toom-Cook's methods (see [`limbs`]), each starting on
//! 16 bytes. The kernels are inline assembly on 64-bit little-endian `aarch64` and, with BMI2, on
//! `x86_64`, and portable Rust elsewhere and under Miri. A borrowed operand multiplied by itself
//! (`&a * &a`) is squared, which needs about half the products of limbs.
//!
//! The product's length in the shortest form is then known, and a vector is chosen for it as for
//! a sum: the vector of an operand taken by value, or of the target of `*=`, when it has room for
//! the product (the left operand's first), and otherwise one new vector of exactly its length.
//! The product's bytes are written there, in the byte order of the left operand, the bytes above
//! the whole limbs as the eight that end at the top, over the limb below.

// The kernels of the schoolbook method, one set per target under the name `kernels`, chosen as
// those of the addition are: assembly on 64-bit little-endian aarch64 where the system allows
// unaligned accesses and on x86_64, and portable Rust elsewhere and under Miri.
