These functions were introduced to give some timing guarantees.
However the guarantees are too weak to be useful.
The functions seem to be unused essentially by downstream users.
* it is an implementation detail used for prime testing
* there is upcoming work by @czurnieden regarding a generalised prime sieve
* furthermore remove jacobi test (replaced by kronecker)
* same behavior for positive numbers
* generalisation for negative numbers, treating them as two complement
* improve algorithm, iterate once over the digits, manually perform two complement
* simplify mp_add_d, mp_sub_d
* functions are safe in case of a==c or b==c
* renamed mp_tc_div_2d to mp_signed_rsh (signed right shift)
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.
* 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.
- add tommath_private.h to HEADERS
- only install public header files
- move more shared stuff to makefile.include
- make it possible to override the *PATH makefile variables
to be used in makefile and makefile.shared
use -Wextra instead of deprecated -W
add additional warnings also used in libtomcrypt
can be disabled by defining NO_ADDTL_WARNINGS
add possibility to define COMPILE_SIZE or COMPILE_DEBUG
