/***
Binary bases can be converted in time linear in the number of digits, because
Python's representation base is binary.  Other bases (including decimal!) use
the simple quadratic-time algorithm below, complicated by some speed tricks.

First some math:  the largest integer that can be expressed in N base-B digits
is B**N-1.  Consequently, if we have an N-digit input in base B, the worst-
case number of Python digits needed to hold it is the smallest integer n s.t.

    BASE**n-1 >= B**N-1  [or, adding 1 to both sides]
    BASE**n >= B**N      [taking logs to base BASE]
    n >= log(B**N)/log(BASE) = N * log(B)/log(BASE)

The static array log_base_BASE[base] == log(base)/log(BASE) so we can compute
this quickly.  A Python long with that much space is reserved near the start,
and the result is computed into it.

The input string is actually treated as being in base base**i (i.e., i digits
are processed at a time), where two more static arrays hold:

    convwidth_base[base] = the largest integer i such that base**i <= BASE
    convmultmax_base[base] = base ** convwidth_base[base]

The first of these is the largest i such that i consecutive input digits
must fit in a single Python digit.  The second is effectively the input
base we're really using.

Viewing the input as a sequence <c0, c1, ..., c_n-1> of digits in base
convmultmax_base[base], the result is "simply"

   (((c0*B + c1)*B + c2)*B + c3)*B + ... ))) + c_n-1

where B = convmultmax_base[base].

Error analysis:  as above, the number of Python digits `n` needed is worst-
case

    n >= N * log(B)/log(BASE)

where `N` is the number of input digits in base `B`.  This is computed via

    size_z = (Py_ssize_t)((scan - str) * log_base_BASE[base]) + 1;

below.  Two numeric concerns are how much space this can waste, and whether
the computed result can be too small.  To be concrete, assume BASE = 2**15,
which is the default (and it's unlikely anyone changes that).

Waste isn't a problem:  provided the first input digit isn't 0, the difference
between the worst-case input with N digits and the smallest input with N
digits is about a factor of B, but B is small compared to BASE so at most
one allocated Python digit can remain unused on that count.  If
N*log(B)/log(BASE) is mathematically an exact integer, then truncating that
and adding 1 returns a result 1 larger than necessary.  However, that can't
happen:  whenever B is a power of 2, long_from_binary_base() is called
instead, and it's impossible for B**i to be an integer power of 2**15 when
B is not a power of 2 (i.e., it's impossible for N*log(B)/log(BASE) to be
an exact integer when B is not a power of 2, since B**i has a prime factor
other than 2 in that case, but (2**15)**j's only prime factor is 2).

The computed result can be too small if the true value of N*log(B)/log(BASE)
is a little bit larger than an exact integer, but due to roundoff errors (in
computing log(B), log(BASE), their quotient, and/or multiplying that by N)
yields a numeric result a little less than that integer.  Unfortunately, "how
close can a transcendental function get to an integer over some range?"
questions are generally theoretically intractable.  Computer analysis via
continued fractions is practical:  expand log(B)/log(BASE) via continued
fractions, giving a sequence i/j of "the best" rational approximations.  Then
j*log(B)/log(BASE) is approximately equal to (the integer) i.  This shows that
we can get very close to being in trouble, but very rarely.  For example,
76573 is a denominator in one of the continued-fraction approximations to
log(10)/log(2**15), and indeed:

    >>> log(10)/log(2**15)*76573
    16958.000000654003

is very close to an integer.  If we were working with IEEE single-precision,
rounding errors could kill us.  Finding worst cases in IEEE double-precision
requires better-than-double-precision log() functions, and Tim didn't bother.
Instead the code checks to see whether the allocated space is enough as each
new Python digit is added, and copies the whole thing to a larger long if not.
This should happen extremely rarely, and in fact I don't have a test case
that triggers it(!).  Instead the code was tested by artificially allocating
just 1 digit at the start, so that the copying code was exercised for every
digit beyond the first.

/* (*) Why adding t3 can't "run out of room" above.

Let f(x) mean the floor of x and c(x) mean the ceiling of x.  Some facts
to start with:

1. For any integer i, i = c(i/2) + f(i/2).  In particular,
   bsize = c(bsize/2) + f(bsize/2).
2. shift = f(bsize/2)
3. asize <= bsize
4. Since we call k_lopsided_mul if asize*2 <= bsize, asize*2 > bsize in this
   routine, so asize > bsize/2 >= f(bsize/2) in this routine.

We allocated asize + bsize result digits, and add t3 into them at an offset
of shift.  This leaves asize+bsize-shift allocated digit positions for t3
to fit into, = (by #1 and #2) asize + f(bsize/2) + c(bsize/2) - f(bsize/2) =
asize + c(bsize/2) available digit positions.

bh has c(bsize/2) digits, and bl at most f(size/2) digits.  So bh+hl has
at most c(bsize/2) digits + 1 bit.

If asize == bsize, ah has c(bsize/2) digits, else ah has at most f(bsize/2)
digits, and al has at most f(bsize/2) digits in any case.  So ah+al has at
most (asize == bsize ? c(bsize/2) : f(bsize/2)) digits + 1 bit.

The product (ah+al)*(bh+bl) therefore has at most

    c(bsize/2) + (asize == bsize ? c(bsize/2) : f(bsize/2)) digits + 2 bits

and we have asize + c(bsize/2) available digit positions.  We need to show
this is always enough.  An instance of c(bsize/2) cancels out in both, so
the question reduces to whether asize digits is enough to hold
(asize == bsize ? c(bsize/2) : f(bsize/2)) digits + 2 bits.  If asize < bsize,
then we're asking whether asize digits >= f(bsize/2) digits + 2 bits.  By #4,
asize is at least f(bsize/2)+1 digits, so this in turn reduces to whether 1
digit is enough to hold 2 bits.  This is so since SHIFT=15 >= 2.  If
asize == bsize, then we're asking whether bsize digits is enough to hold
c(bsize/2) digits + 2 bits, or equivalently (by #1) whether f(bsize/2) digits
is enough to hold 2 bits.  This is so if bsize >= 2, which holds because
bsize >= KARATSUBA_CUTOFF >= 2.

Note that since there's always enough room for (ah+al)*(bh+bl), and that's
clearly >= each of ah*bh and al*bl, there's always enough room to subtract
ah*bh and al*bl too.
