Maybe it's a typo for 512. I'm not even sure how you would achieve 564 in this context.


It's actually not a typo. Our "real" internal code starts with integer bounds on the inputs (say 2^26) and then computes for each subexpression how many bits are actually needed to exactly represent that. That can even lead to fractional bits (like in "a + b + c"). The generated code then rounds up to the next 64 bit multiple.
