The return type of mp_get_bit was imprecise (either mp_err or mp_bool),
therefore this function is deprecated in favor of s_mp_get_bit for now.
If we need s_mp_get_bit to be public, we should add it under a different
name. However since mp_set_bit is not available, I don't think there any
downstream users (ab)using mp_int as bitsets.
* deprecate MP_PRNG_ENABLE_LTM_RNG
* custom mp_rand_source is used always if set, which should be more aligned with user expectations
* use custom source in tune.c
* don't call random number generator once per digit, which is slow
* In the default settings, a cutoff X can be modified at runtime
by adjusting the corresponding X_CUTOFF variable.
* Tunability of the library can be disabled at compile time
by defining the MP_FIXED_CUTOFFS macro.
* There is an additional file tommath_cutoffs.h, which defines
the default cutoffs. These can be adjusted manually or by the
autotuner.
Header files which are located in the same directory that the file from where it is included must be included using `" "`, not `< >`.
Otherwise the compiler (gcc 5) cannot understand `#include <tommath_class.h>` in `/usr/include/tommath/tommath.h`.
This change is introduced to be able to choose the underlying
implementation of mp_expt_d_ex()
The implementation of the root_n functionality is now implemented in the
mp_n_root_ex() function.
The parameter 'fast' is just passed over to mp_expt_d_ex().
mp_n_root() defaults to the pre 921be35779
implementation
The implementation of the expt_d functionality is now implemented in the
mp_expt_d_ex() function.
The user can now choose between the old (more timing resistant) version
and the new version by modification of the parameter 'fast'.
mp_expt_d() defaults to the old version
