- * reside in read-only segment. In other words
- * observation of BN_FLG_STATIC_DATA in
- * BN_consttime_swap should be treated as fatal
- * condition. It would either cause SEGV or
- * effectively cause data corruption.
- * BN_FLG_MALLOCED refers to BN structure itself,
- * and hence must be preserved. Remaining flags are
- * BN_FLG_CONSTIME and BN_FLG_SECURE. Latter must be
- * preserved, because it determines how x->d was
- * allocated and hence how to free it. This leaves
- * BN_FLG_CONSTTIME that one can do something about.
- * To summarize it's sufficient to mask and swap
- * BN_FLG_CONSTTIME alone. BN_FLG_STATIC_DATA should
- * be treated as fatal.
