BN_zero, BN_one, BN_value_one, BN_set_word, BN_get_word - BIGNUM assignment operations

Bugs

       If a BIGNUM is equal to the value of all-bits-set, it will collide with the error condition returned by
       BN_get_word() which uses that as an error value.

       BN_ULONG should probably be a typedef.

Description

BN_ULONG is a macro that will be an unsigned integral type optimized for the most efficient
       implementation on the local platform.

       BN_zero(), BN_one() and BN_set_word() set a to the values 0, 1 and w respectively.  BN_zero() and
       BN_one() are macros.

       BN_value_one() returns a BIGNUM constant of value 1. This constant is useful for use in comparisons and
       assignment.

       BN_get_word() returns a, if it can be represented as a BN_ULONG.

History

       In OpenSSL 0.9.8, BN_zero() was changed to not return a value; previous versions returned an int.

Name

       BN_zero, BN_one, BN_value_one, BN_set_word, BN_get_word - BIGNUM assignment operations

Return Values

BN_get_word() returns the value a, or all-bits-set if a cannot be represented as a single integer.

       BN_one() and BN_set_word() return 1 on success, 0 otherwise.  BN_value_one() returns the constant.
       BN_zero() never fails and returns no value.

        const BIGNUM *BN_value_one(void);

        int BN_set_word(BIGNUM *a, BN_ULONG w);
        unsigned BN_ULONG BN_get_word(BIGNUM *a);
