- Various hacking notes -*- text -*-
- =======================
-
-
-Taking optimized MPI code out of GMP:
--------------------------------------
-
- I generated the pentium4/* files by glueing the existing assembler
- prologues to the GMP 4.2.1 assembler files generated with the m4
- tool in GMP's build process, for example:
-
- $ m4 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -DOPERATION_rshift -DPIC \
- rshift.asm >tmp-rshift.s
-
- Then tmp-rshift will contain the assembler instructions for the
- configured platform. Unfortunately, this way the comments are lost.
- For most files I re-inserted some of the comments, but this is
- tedious work.
-
-
-Debugging math stuff:
----------------------
-
- While debugging the ECC code in libgcrypt, I was in need for some
- computer algebra system which would allow me to verify the numbers
- in the debugging easily. I found that PARI (pari-gp package in
- Debian) has support for elliptic curves. The below commands shows
- how they are set up and used with an example.
