/* 3. Setting status in the context must always be the very last      */
/*    action in a routine, as non-0 status may raise a trap and hence */
/*    the call to set status may not return (if the handler uses long */
/*    jump).  Therefore all cleanup must be done first.  In general,  */
/*    to achieve this status is accumulated and is only applied just  */
/*    before return by calling decContextSetStatus (via decStatus).   */

/*    Routines which allocate storage cannot, in general, use the     */
/*    'top level' routines which could cause a non-returning          */
/*    transfer of control.  The decXxxxOp routines are safe (do not   */
/*    call decStatus even if traps are set in the context) and should */
/*    be used instead (they are also a little faster).                */
/*                                                                    */
/* 4. Exponent checking is minimized by allowing the exponent to      */
/*    grow outside its limits during calculations, provided that      */
/*    the decFinalize function is called later.  Multiplication and   */
/*    division, and intermediate calculations in exponentiation,      */
/*    require more careful checks because of the risk of 31-bit       */
/*    overflow (the most negative valid exponent is -1999999997, for  */
/*    a 999999999-digit number with adjusted exponent of -999999999). */
/*                                                                    */
/* 5. Rounding is deferred until finalization of results, with any    */
/*    'off to the right' data being represented as a single digit     */
/*    residue (in the range -1 through 9).  This avoids any double-   */
/*    rounding when more than one shortening takes place (for         */
/*    example, when a result is subnormal).                           */
/*                                                                    */
/* 6. The digits count is allowed to rise to a multiple of DECDPUN    */
/*    during many operations, so whole Units are handled and exact    */
/*    accounting of digits is not needed.  The correct digits value   */
/*    is found by decGetDigits, which accounts for leading zeros.     */
/*    This must be called before any rounding if the number of digits */
/*    is not known exactly.                                           */
/*                                                                    */
/* 7. The multiply-by-reciprocal 'trick' is used for partitioning     */
/*    numbers up to four digits, using appropriate constants.  This   */
/*    is not useful for longer numbers because overflow of 32 bits    */
/*    would lead to 4 multiplies, which is almost as expensive as     */
/*    a divide (unless a floating-point or 64-bit multiply is         */
/*    assumed to be available).                                       */
/*                                                                    */
