This trait represents a wrapper around a biginteger which can encode any element of a particular prime field. It is a smart wrapper around a sequence of u64 limbs, least-significant digit first.

Required Methods

fn sub_noborrow(&mut self, other: &Self)

Subtract another represetation from this one.

fn add_nocarry(&mut self, other: &Self)

Add another representation to this one.

fn num_bits(&self) -> u32

Compute the number of bits needed to encode this number. Always a multiple of 64.

fn is_zero(&self) -> bool

Returns true iff this number is zero.

fn is_odd(&self) -> bool

Returns true iff this number is odd.

fn is_even(&self) -> bool

Returns true iff this number is even.

fn div2(&mut self)

Performs a rightwise bitshift of this number, effectively dividing it by 2.

fn shr(&mut self, amt: u32)

Performs a rightwise bitshift of this number by some amount.

fn mul2(&mut self)

Performs a leftwise bitshift of this number, effectively multiplying it by 2. Overflow is ignored.

fn shl(&mut self, amt: u32)

Performs a leftwise bitshift of this number by some amount.

Provided Methods

fn write_be<W: Write>(&self, writer: W) -> Result<()>

Writes this PrimeFieldRepr as a big endian integer.

fn read_be<R: Read>(&mut self, reader: R) -> Result<()>

Reads a big endian integer into this representation.

fn write_le<W: Write>(&self, writer: W) -> Result<()>

Writes this PrimeFieldRepr as a little endian integer.

fn read_le<R: Read>(&mut self, reader: R) -> Result<()>

Reads a little endian integer into this representation.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
