Summary
lhs ** rhsshortcut with three-argumentpowmodulo the bit-vector width.Rationale
EVM EXP results are reduced modulo 2^256. Constructing the entire Python power before bit-vector truncation is equivalent but can allocate an enormous intermediate. Modular exponentiation computes the same result while keeping intermediates bounded; using
1 << sizealso preserves the helper's generic bit width.Validation
