34 * Flags to control the behavior of gcd() and friends
40 * Usually GiNaC tries heuristic GCD first, because typically
41 * it's much faster than anything else. Even if heuristic
42 * algorithm fails, the overhead is negligible w.r.t. cost
43 * of computing the GCD by some other method. However, some
44 * people dislike it, so here's a flag which tells GiNaC
45 * to NOT use the heuristic algorithm.
49 * GiNaC tries to avoid expanding expressions when computing
50 * GCDs. This is a good idea, but some people dislike it.
51 * Hence the flag to disable special handling of partially
52 * factored polynomials. DON'T SET THIS unless you *really*
53 * know what are you doing!
57 * By default GiNaC uses modular GCD algorithm. Typically
58 * it's much faster than PRS (pseudo remainder sequence)
59 * algorithm. This flag forces GiNaC to use PRS algorithm
