- * These macro wrappers replace attempts to use the dsa_mod_exp() and
- * bn_mod_exp() handlers in the DSA_METHOD structure. We avoid the problem of
- * having a the macro work as an expression by bundling an "err_instr". So;

- *     if (!dsa->meth->bn_mod_exp(dsa, r,dsa->g,&k,dsa->p,ctx,
- *                 dsa->method_mont_p)) goto err;
- *
- * can be replaced by;
- *
- *     DSA_BN_MOD_EXP(goto err, dsa, r, dsa->g, &k, dsa->p, ctx,
- *                 dsa->method_mont_p);
