        struct bignum_st
               {
               BN_ULONG *d;    /* Pointer to an array of 'BN_BITS2' bit chunks. */
               int top;        /* Index of last used d +1. */
               /* The next are internal book keeping for bn_expand. */
               int dmax;       /* Size of the d array. */
               int neg;        /* one if the number is negative */
               int flags;
               };

       The integer value is stored in d, a malloc()ed array of words
       (BN_ULONG), least significant word first. A BN_ULONG can be either 16,
       32 or 64 bits in size, depending on the 'number of bits' (BITS2)
       specified in "openssl/bn.h".

       dmax is the size of the d array that has been allocated.  top is the
       number of words being used, so for a value of 4, bn.d[0]=4 and
       bn.top=1.  neg is 1 if the number is negative.  When a BIGNUM is 0, the
       d field can be NULL and top == 0.

       flags is a bit field of flags which are defined in "openssl/bn.h". The
       flags begin with BN_FLG_. The macros BN_set_flags(b,n) and
       BN_get_flags(b,n) exist to enable or fetch flag(s) n from BIGNUM
       structure b.

       Various routines in this library require the use of temporary BIGNUM
       variables during their execution.  Since dynamic memory allocation to
       create BIGNUMs is rather expensive when used in conjunction with
       repeated subroutine calls, the BN_CTX structure is used.  This
       structure contains BN_CTX_NUM BIGNUMs, see BN_CTX_start(3).

   Low-level arithmetic operations
       These functions are implemented in C and for several platforms in
       assembly language:

       bn_mul_words(rp, ap, num, w) operates on the num word arrays rp and ap.
       It computes ap * w, places the result in rp, and returns the high word
       (carry).

       bn_mul_add_words(rp, ap, num, w) operates on the num word arrays rp and
       ap.  It computes ap * w + rp, places the result in rp, and returns the
       high word (carry).

       bn_sqr_words(rp, ap, n) operates on the num word array ap and the 2*num
       word array ap.  It computes ap * ap word-wise, and places the low and
       high bytes of the result in rp.

       bn_div_words(h, l, d) divides the two word number (h,l) by d and
       returns the result.

       bn_add_words(rp, ap, bp, num) operates on the num word arrays ap, bp
       and rp.  It computes ap + bp, places the result in rp, and returns the
       high word (carry).
       word array r.

       bn_sqr_comba8(r, a, b) operates on the 8 word arrays a and b and the 16
       word array r.

       The following functions are implemented in C:

       bn_cmp_words(a, b, n) operates on the n word arrays a and b.  It
       returns 1, 0 and -1 if a is greater than, equal and less than b.

       bn_mul_normal(r, a, na, b, nb) operates on the na word array a, the nb
       word array b and the na+nb word array r.  It computes a*b and places
       the result in r.

       bn_mul_low_normal(r, a, b, n) operates on the n word arrays r, a and b.
       It computes the n low words of a*b and places the result in r.

       bn_mul_recursive(r, a, b, n2, dna, dnb, t) operates on the word arrays
       a and b of length n2+dna and n2+dnb (dna and dnb are currently allowed
       to be 0 or negative) and the 2*n2 word arrays r and t.  n2 must be a
       power of 2.  It computes a*b and places the result in r.

       bn_mul_part_recursive(r, a, b, n, tna, tnb, tmp) operates on the word
       arrays a and b of length n+tna and n+tnb and the 4*n word arrays r and
       tmp.

       bn_mul_low_recursive(r, a, b, n2, tmp) operates on the n2 word arrays r
       and tmp and the n2/2 word arrays a and b.

       bn_mul_high(r, a, b, l, n2, tmp) operates on the n2 word arrays r, a, b
       and l (?) and the 3*n2 word array tmp.

       BN_mul() calls bn_mul_normal(), or an optimized implementation if the
       factors have the same size: bn_mul_comba8() is used if they are 8 words
       long, bn_mul_recursive() if they are larger than BN_MULL_SIZE_NORMAL
       and the size is an exact multiple of the word size, and
       bn_mul_part_recursive() for others that are larger than
       BN_MULL_SIZE_NORMAL.

       bn_sqr_normal(r, a, n, tmp) operates on the n word array a and the 2*n
       word arrays tmp and r.

       The implementations use the following macros which, depending on the
       architecture, may use "long long" C operations or inline assembler.
       They are defined in "bn_lcl.h".

       mul(r, a, w, c) computes w*a+c and places the low word of the result in
       r and the high word in c.

       mul_add(r, a, w, c) computes w*a+r+c and places the low word of the
       result in r and the high word in c.

       sqr(r0, r1, a) computes a*a and places the low word of the result in r0
       and the high word in r1.
       bn_check_top() verifies that "((a)->top >= 0 && (a)->top <=
       (a)->dmax)".  A violation will cause the program to abort.

       bn_print() prints a to stderr. bn_dump() prints n words at d (in
       reverse order, i.e. most significant word first) to stderr.

       bn_set_max() makes a a static number with a dmax of its current size.
       This is used by bn_set_low() and bn_set_high() to make r a read-only
       BIGNUM that contains the n low or high words of a.

       If BN_DEBUG is not defined, bn_check_top(), bn_print(), bn_dump() and
       bn_set_max() are defined as empty macros.
