Unfortunately this won't work as I try to access attributes/parents of elements in
setcoeff!
before they are set.I see two ways to resolve this issue:
setcoeff!
gets an optional fourth argument, that is aUInt
fornmod_poly
-based types and afmpz_mod_ctx_struct
forfmpz_mod_poly
-based types. If this fourth argument is not passed, we can reconstruct it (in many cases, but not inside of the constructors as parents are not available).I would tend to 2 for now, and maybe remove this fourth argument again once 1 has made enough progress. What do you think @fingolfin ?
