51 * Arguments: @mp *d@ = destination
52 * @mp *a, *b@ = sources
54 * Returns: Result, @a@ added to @b@.
57 extern mp *gf_add(mp */*d*/, mp */*a*/, mp */*b*/);
62 * Arguments: @mp *d@ = destination
63 * @mp *a, *b@ = sources
65 * Returns: Result, @a@ multiplied by @b@.
68 extern mp *gf_mul(mp */*d*/, mp */*a*/, mp */*b*/);
72 * Arguments: @mp *d@ = destination
75 * Returns: Result, @a@ squared.
78 extern mp *gf_sqr(mp */*d*/, mp */*a*/);
82 * Arguments: @mp **qq, **rr@ = destination, quotient and remainder
83 * @mp *a, *b@ = sources
85 * Use: Calculates the quotient and remainder when @a@ is divided by
86 * @b@. The destinations @*qq@ and @*rr@ must be distinct.
87 * Either of @qq@ or @rr@ may be null to indicate that the
88 * result is irrelevant. (Discarding both results is silly.)
89 * There is a performance advantage if @a == *rr@.
92 extern void gf_div(mp **/*qq*/, mp **/*rr*/, mp */*a*/, mp */*b*/);
96 * Arguments: @mp *d@ = fake destination
100 * Returns: Result, %$a^e$%.
103 extern mp *gf_exp(mp */*d*/, mp */*a*/, mp */*e*/);
105 /* --- @gf_irreduciblep@ --- *
107 * Arguments: @mp *f@ = a polynomial
109 * Returns: Nonzero if the polynomial is irreducible; otherwise zero.
112 extern int gf_irreduciblep(mp */*f*/);
114 /* --- @gf_gcd@ --- *
116 * Arguments: @mp **gcd, **xx, **yy@ = where to write the results
117 * @mp *a, *b@ = sources (must be nonzero)
122 * Use: Calculates @gcd(a, b)@, and two numbers @x@ and @y@ such that
123 * @ax + by = gcd(a, b)@. This is useful for computing modular
127 extern void gf_gcd(mp **/*gcd*/, mp **/*xx*/, mp **/*yy*/,
128 mp */*a*/, mp */*b*/);
130 /* -- @gf_modinv@ --- *
132 * Arguments: @mp *d@ = destination
136 * Returns: The inverse %$x^{-1} \bmod p$%.
138 * Use: Computes a modular inverse, the catch being that the
139 * arguments and results are binary polynomials. An assertion
140 * fails if %$p$% has no inverse.
