ca_field_cache_insert_ext
Synopsis
#include <flint/ca_field.h>ca_field_ptr ca_field_cache_insert_ext(ca_field_cache_t cache, ca_ext_struct ** x, slong length, ca_ctx_t ctx)sourceReturns a pointer to the field in cache whose generators are the length extension numbers x (compared as pointers, in the given order), creating it if needed. A newly created field is \mathbb{Q} if length is 0, a number field if it has one algebraic generator, and otherwise a generic field whose ideal is built immediately with ca_field_build_ideal. The extension numbers must belong to the cache of ctx.
