ca_ext_struct, ca_ext_t

Synopsis#include <flint/ca_ext.h>
ca_ext_struct
ca_ext_t

An extension number. The structure holds the head (a calcium_func_code), a hash value, the depth, and either a qqbar_t together with a pointer to an nf_struct for arithmetic in \mathbb{Q}(a) (when the head is CA_QQBar), or the array of arguments, their number, a cached enclosure with its precision and an optional cached qqbar_t value (for a function value). A ca_ext_t is an array of one structure, so it is passed by reference.
