Re: [PATCH v2 2/5] lib/mpi: Add mpi_sub_ui()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



No. The code is really based on Gnu MP. I used the header from
lib/mpi/mpi-pow.c as reference and that's source of the mention to
GnuPG that went unnoticed by me.

You can find the original Gnu MP source that I used as reference in
the file gmp-6.2.0/mpz/aors_ui.h from:

https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/gmp-6.2.0.tar.lz

I'm pasting the contents of gmp-6.2.0/mpz/aors_ui.h below for
reference. Do you think we should use or adapt the original header
instead?

That said, assuming the patch set submitted by Tianjia is updated to
ensure that mpi_sub_ui() and other functions are returning allocation
errors, we could drop this patch in favor of that patch set that is
more extensive and also provides an implementation to mpi_sub_ui().
