/*
 * PuTTY's multiprecision integer library.
 *
 * This library is written with the aim of avoiding leaking the input
 * numbers via timing and cache side channels. This means avoiding
 * making any control flow change, or deciding the address of any
 * memory access, based on the value of potentially secret input data.
 *
 * But in a library that has to handle numbers of arbitrary size, you
 * can't avoid your control flow depending on the _size_ of the input!
 * So the rule is that an mp_int has a nominal size that need not be
 * its mathematical size: i.e. if you call (say) mp_from_bytes_be to
 * turn an array of 256 bytes into an integer, and all but the last of
 * those bytes is zero, then you get an mp_int which has space for 256
 * bytes of data but just happens to store the value 1. So the
 * _nominal_ sizes of input data - e.g. the size in bits of some
 * public-key modulus - are not considered secret, and control flow is
 * allowed to do what it likes based on those sizes. But the same
 * function, called with the same _nominally sized_ arguments
 * containing different values, should run in the same length of time.
 *
 * When a function returns an 'mp_int *', it is newly allocated to an
 * appropriate nominal size (which, again, depends only on the nominal
 * sizes of the inputs). Other functions have 'into' in their name,
 * and they instead overwrite the contents of an existing mp_int.
 *
 * Functions in this API which return values that are logically
 * boolean return them as 'unsigned' rather than the C99 bool type.
 * That's because C99 bool does an implicit test for non-zero-ness
 * when converting any other integer type to it, which compilers might
 * well implement using data-dependent control flow.
