/* The guts of the Reed-Solomon decoder, meant to be #included
 * into a function body with the following typedefs, macros and variables supplied
 * according to the code parameters:

 * data_t - a typedef for the data symbol
 * data_t data[] - array of NN data and parity symbols to be corrected in place
 * retval - an integer lvalue into which the decoder's return code is written
 * NROOTS - the number of roots in the RS code generator polynomial,
 *          which is the same as the number of parity symbols in a block.
            Integer variable or literal.
 * NN - the total number of symbols in a RS block. Integer variable or literal.
 * PAD - the number of pad symbols in a block. Integer variable or literal.
 * ALPHA_TO - The address of an array of NN elements to convert Galois field
 *            elements in index (log) form to polynomial form. Read only.
 * INDEX_OF - The address of an array of NN elements to convert Galois field
 *            elements in polynomial form to index (log) form. Read only.
 * MODNN - a function to reduce its argument modulo NN. May be inline or a macro.
 * FCR - An integer literal or variable specifying the first consecutive root of the
 *       Reed-Solomon generator polynomial. Integer variable or literal.
 * PRIM - The primitive root of the generator poly. Integer variable or literal.
 * DEBUG - If set to 1 or more, do various internal consistency checking. Leave this
 *         undefined for production code

 * The memset(), memmove(), and memcpy() functions are used. The appropriate header
 * file declaring these functions (usually <string.h>) must be included by the calling
 * program.
