Discussion:
The complexity of generate_canonical is specified to be "exactly k=max(1, ceil(b/log2
R)) invocations of g". This terms involves a logarithm that is not rounded and hence can not (in
general) be computed at compile time. As this function template is performance critical, I propose
to replace ceil(b/log2 R) with ceil(b/floor(log2 R)).
See N2424 for further discussion.
