/*Given the current total integer number of bits used and the current value of

  nbits_total: The number of whole bits currently used, i.e., the value
                returned by od_ec_enc_tell() or od_ec_dec_tell().
  rng: The current value of rng from either the encoder or decoder state.
  Return: The number of bits scaled by 2**OD_BITRES.

  /*To handle the non-integral number of bits still left in the encoder/decoder
     state, we compute the worst-case number of bits of val that must be
     encoded to ensure that the value is inside the range for any possible
     subsequent bits.
    The computation here is independent of val itself (the decoder does not
     even track that value), even though the real number of bits used after
     od_ec_enc_done() may be 1 smaller if rng is a power of two and the
     corresponding trailing bits of val are all zeros.
    If we did try to track that special case, then coding a value with a
     probability of 1/(1 << n) might sometimes appear to use more than n bits.
    This may help explain the surprising result that a newly initialized
     encoder or decoder claims to have used 1 bit.*/
