Detailed Description

Generate the numeral in the specified base corresponding to the input decimal number.

Parameters
[in]decimal: The input scalar of type integer of kind any supported by the processor (e.g., IK, IK8, IK16, IK32, or IK64), containing the input non-negative decimal number to be converted to the requested base.
Note that decimal argument must be passed as value. This is automatically done by the compiler for a Fortran user.
[in]base: The input scalar of type integer of the same kind as the integer kind of decimal, containing the base of the numeral system of the input numeral.
The input base must be larger than 1 and less than 36.
Returns
numeral : The allocatable output scalar character of default kind SK containing the numeral in the specified base, corresponding to the inputdecimal number, comprised of only ASCII digital character and, if base > 10, also possibly the first max(base-10,0) upper-case English characters.

Warning
The pure procedure(s) documented herein become impure when the ParaMonte library is compiled with preprocessor macro CHECK_ENABLED=1.
By default, these procedures are pure in release build and impure in debug and testing builds.
The input base must be a positive integer larger than 1.
The input value must be non-empty and contain only ASCII digital and the first max(base-10,0) upper-case English characters.
These conditions are verified only if the library is built with the preprocessor macro CHECK_ENABLED=1.
While base can be arbitrarily large, the specific integer kind used for base may be insufficient for the returned decimal value.
This can lead to integer overflows that may remain unnoticed in non-debug library builds if numeral or base is too large for the specified kind of decimal.
Additionally, keep in mind that there are only 36 symbols for numeral system digits that can fully cover all numbers up to base 36.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the specified kind for the input decimal is sufficient for the output decimal value.

Bug:

Status: Unresolved
Source: Intel Classic Fortran Compiler ifort version 2021.8.0 20221119
Description: The Intel Classic Fortran Compiler ifort version 2021.8.0 20221119 cannot run the following function call in the examples of getDecimal,
getNumeral(huge(1_IK), base = 36_IK)

yielding the following error,

forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred
image PC Routine Line Source
libc.so.6 000014F31F6D5520 Unknown Unknown Unknown

main.exe 0000000000408255 Unknown Unknown Unknown

This segmentation fault error resembles the compiler bug observed in getFormat.
It seems to be related to the value attribute of the input argument decimal.

Remedy (as of ParaMonte Library version 2.0.0): For now, the value attribute of the input argument decimal of getNumeral is converted to intent(in) to resolve the compiler bug.

Todo:
Normal Priority: There is a dependency on the kind type parameter of the integer input arguments requiring range(0_IKG) < 1024.
The algorithm must be modified to become kind-agnostic.
