73 /*----- Event handling ----------------------------------------------------*
75 * Different programs and architectures will want to show progress of prime
76 * searches and similar processes in different ways. Of course, for simple
77 * searches, it's possible to use the @pfilt@ and @rabin@ functions and
78 * maintain control over the general control flow throughout the search.
80 * For more complex cases, this sort of control is undesirable. It's
81 * possible to specify an event handler which is informed in abstract about
82 * the search. The event handler can also request the search be aborted.

87 * You're allowed to rely on the values of @PGEN_DONE@ and @PGEN_ABORT@.

102 * cryptographically strong.

110 grand *r; /* Source of random numbers */
113 /*----- Prime search parameters -------------------------------------------*
115 * The prime search is parameterized in a large number of ways, although this
116 * isn't so much of a surprise given the different sorts of properties
117 * required from prime numbers in cryptographic applications.
119 * There are two main things which need to be configured: stepping, and
120 * testing. (Filtering is done as part of stepping.)
122 * The functions here provide a toolkit for constructing stepping and testing
123 * routines. In a lot of cases, the functions can be used directly; in
124 * others, simple bits of glue need be written.
126 * Two types of functions are defined: steppers and testers, but their
127 * interfaces are substantially similar. Each is given a request code, a
128 * context block and an event block. It is meant to update its context and
129 * the event block and return an event code.
131 * A call with a request of @PGEN_BEGIN@ asks the stepper or tester to
132 * initialize itself using the information in its event block and context. A
133 * return of @PGEN_FAIL@ reports an immediate failure; @PGEN_ABORT@ reports a
134 * fatal problem; @PGEN_DONE@ reports immediate success. @PGEN_TRY@ reports
135 * successful initialization and requests test iterations.
137 * A call to a stepper with a request of @PGEN_TRY@ asks it to step to the
138 * next possible candidate, replacing the value @m@ in the event block with
139 * the new candidate. A call to a tester with a request of @PGEN_TRY@
140 * runs one pass of the test. It should return @PGEN_FAIL@ to report a
141 * failure, @PGEN_PASS@ to report a success and request another iteration,
142 * @PGEN_DONE@ to report final acceptance and @PGEN_ABORT@ to terminate the
143 * search unsuccessfully. Note that even if the search is aborted, a
144 * shutdown request is still made.
146 * A call with a request of @PGEN_DONE@ closes down the stepper or tester.
147 * After a successful initialization (i.e., a return of something other than
148 * @PGEN_ABORT@), a shutdown call is guaranteed. The return code is ignored.
