MODULE: ZZ_pE

SUMMARY:

The class ZZ_pE is used to represent polynomials in Z_p[X] modulo a
polynomial P.  The modulus P may be any polynomial with deg(P) > 0,
not necessarily irreducible.  The modulus p defining Z_p need
not be prime either.

Objects of the class ZZ_pE are represented as a ZZ_pX of degree < deg(P).

An executing program maintains a "current modulus", which is set to P
using ZZ_pE::init(P).  The current modulus for ZZ_pE (as well as for ZZ_p)
*must* be initialized before an operations on ZZ_pE's are performed.

The modulus may be changed, and a mechanism is provided for saving and
restoring a modulus (see classes ZZ_pEPush and ZZ_pEContext below).

                       Modulus Switching 

A class ZZ_pEPush is provided for "backing up" the current modulus
and installing a new one.

Here is what you do to save the current modulus, temporarily
set it to P, and automatically restore it:

   { 
      ZZ_pEPush push(P); 

      ...

   }

The constructor for push will save the current modulus, and install P as the
current modulus.  The destructor for push will restore the old modulus when the
scope enclosing it exits.  This is the so-called RAII (resource acquisition is
initialization) paradigm.

You could also do the following:

   {
      ZZ_pEPush push; // just backup current modulus

        ...

      ZZ_pE::init(P1); // install P1 

        ...

      ZZ_pE::init(P2); // install P2

      // reinstall original modulus as close of scope
   }

      
The ZZ_pEPush interface is good for implementing simple stack-like
modulus "context switching".  For more general context switching,
see ZZ_pEContext below.  There is also an older ZZ_pEBak class
that may also be useful.

..........................................................................

It is critical that ZZ_pE objects created under one ZZ_pE modulus are not used in
any non-trivial way "out of context", i.e., under a different (or undefined)
ZZ_pE modulus.  However, for ease-of-use, some operations may be safely
performed out of context.  These safe operations include: the default and copy
constructor, the destructor, and the assignment operator.  In addition is is
generally safe to read any ZZ_pE object out of context (i.e., printing it out, or
fetching its underlying representive using the rep() function).

Any unsafe uses out of context are not in general checked, and may 
lead to unpredictable behavior.
