it created. (Thanks to Ulf for the forehead-slap.)
and structures as constant without having to cast away const at any point.
There is still plenty of other code that makes gcc's "-Wcast-qual" unhappy,
but crypto/bn/ is now ok. Purists are welcome to suggest alternatives.
constructing BIGNUM structures with pointers offset into other bignums
(among other things). This corrects some of it that is too plainly insane,
and tries to ensure that bignums are normalised when passed to other
functions.
structures being passed in to or out of API functions, and this corrects a
couple of cases found so far.
Also, lop off a couple of bytes of white-space.
I have tried to convert 'len' type variable declarations to unsigned as a
means to address these warnings when appropriate, but when in doubt I have
used casts in the comparisons instead. The better solution (that would get
us all lynched by API users) would be to go through and convert all the
function prototypes and structure definitions to use unsigned variables
except when signed is necessary. The proliferation of (signed) "int" for
strictly non-negative uses is unfortunate.
except internally to the allocator BN_CTX_new(), as such this deprecates
the use of BN_CTX_init() in the API. Moreover, the structure definition of
BN_CTX is taken out of bn_lcl.h and moved into bn_ctx.c itself.
NDEBUG should probably only be "forced" in the top-level configuration, but
until it is I will avoid removing it from bn_ctx.c which might surprise
people with massive slow-downs in their keygens. So I've left it in
bn_ctx.c but tidied up the preprocessor logic a touch and made it more
tolerant of debugging efforts.
be) precompiled out in the API headers. This change is to ensure that if
it is defined when compiling openssl, the deprecated functions aren't
implemented either.
sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
situation in the script.

key-generation and prime-checking functions. Rather than explicitly passing
callback functions and caller-defined context data for the callbacks, a new
structure BN_GENCB is defined that encapsulates this; a pointer to the
structure is passed to all such functions instead.
This wrapper structure allows the encapsulation of "old" and "new" style
callbacks - "new" callbacks return a boolean result on the understanding
that returning FALSE should terminate keygen/primality processing. The
BN_GENCB abstraction will allow future callback modifications without
needing to break binary compatibility nor change the API function
prototypes. The new API functions have been given names ending in "_ex" and
the old functions are implemented as wrappers to the new ones. The
OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol has been introduced so that, if defined,
declaration of the older functions will be skipped. NB: Some
openssl-internal code will stick with the older callbacks for now, so
appropriate "#undef" logic will be put in place - this is in case the user
is *building* openssl (rather than *including* its headers) with this
symbol defined.
There is another change in the new _ex functions; the key-generation
functions do not return key structures but operate on structures passed by
the caller, the return value is a boolean. This will allow for a smoother
transition to having key-generation as "virtual function" in the various
***_METHOD tables.
the divisor was a bit more complex than I first saw. The lost bit
can't just be discarded, as there are cases where it is important.
For example, look at dividing 320000 with 80000 vs. 80001 (all
decimals), the difference is crucial. The trick here is to check if
that lost bit was 1, and in that case, do the following:
1. subtract the quotient from the remainder
2. as long as the remainder is negative, add the divisor (the whole
divisor, not the shofted down copy) to it, and decrease the
quotient by one.
There's probably a nice mathematical proof for this already, but I
won't bother with that, unless someone requests it from me.

Here's the description, submitted by Gisle Vanem <giva@bgnett.no>:
1. sock_init() renamed to ssl_sock_init() in ./apps/s_socket.c due
to name-clash with Watt-32.
2. rand() renamed to Rand() in ./crypto/bn/divtest.c due to name-clash
with <stdlib.h>
3. Added calls to dbug_init()/sock_init() in some demo programs.
4. Changed cflags/lflags in configure. Watt-32 install root now taken
from $WATT_ROOT.
the new method names where _GF... suffixes have been removed.
Revert changes to ..._{get/set}_Jprojective_coordinates_...:
The current implementation for ECC over binary fields does not use
projective coordinates, and if it did, it would not use Jacobian
projective coordinates; so it's OK to use the ..._GFp prefix for all
this.
Add author attributions to some files so that it doesn't look

The 'OPENSSL_NO_SUN_DIV' default is still subject to change,

[Note that the bn_expand()/bn_wexpand() macros call bn_expand2() only
if the BIGNUM actually has to grow, so this change does not add any
new overhead as currently bn_expand2() is never called directly.]

New semantics for BN_rand_range():
BN_rand_range(r, min, range) now generates r such that
min <= r < min+range.
(Previously, BN_rand_range(r, min, max) generated r such that
min <= r < max.
It is more convenient to have the range; also the previous
prototype was misleading because max was larger than
the actual maximum.)

Fix a warning in BN_mul(), bn_mul.c about uninitialised 'j'.
One problem that looked like a problem in bn_recp.c at first turned
out to be a BN_mul bug. An example is given in bn_recp.c; finding
the bug responsible for this is left as an exercise.
course, that means we need to handle the cases where the two arrays to
bn_mul_recursive() and bn_mul_part_recursive() differ in size.
I haven't yet changed the comments that describe bn_mul_recursive()
and bn_mul_part_recursive(). I want this to be tested by more people
before I consider this change final. Please test away!
The bn_cmp_part_words bug was only caught in the BN_mod_mul() test,
not in the BN_mul() test, so apparently the choice of parameters in
some cases is bad.
But even if this is avoided, there are still segmentation violations
(during one of the BN_free()s at the end of test_kron
in some cases, in other cases during BN_kronecker, or
later in BN_sqrt; choosing a different exponentiation
algorithm in bntest.c appears to influence when the SIGSEGV
takes place).
so we have to reduce the random numbers used in test_mont.
Before this change, test_mont failed in [debug-]solaris-sparcv9-gcc
configurations ("Montgomery multiplication test failed!" because
the multiplication result obtained with Montgomery multiplication
differed from the result obtained by BN_mod_mul).
Substituing the old version of bn_gcd.c (BN_mod_inverse) did not avoid
the problem.
The strange thing is that it I did not observe any problems
when using debug-solaris-sparcv8-gcc and solaris-sparcv9-cc,
as well as when compiling OpenSSL 0.9.6 in the solaric-sparcv9-gcc
configuration on the same system.
This caused a segmentation fault in calls to malloc, so I cleaned up
bn_lib.c a little so that it is easier to see what is going on.
The bug turned out to be an off-by-one error in BN_bin2bn.
