fq_gen
Synopsis
#include <flint/fq.h>Sets rop to the generator of the field, the class of x, a root of the defining polynomial. For d = 1 this is the root -c_0/c_1 of f = c_1 x + c_0. The generator generates the multiplicative group if and only if f is primitive, which holds for Conway polynomials.
