Requesting input from people that have worked on the ec_mult.c file in the past.
Issue on Github:https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/616
We would like to know the purpose of the dead code in question in the
ec_wNAF_mul() function below (starts around line 323 of the file):
if (tmp_len <= max_len) {
/*
* One of the other wNAFs is at least as long as the wNAF
* belonging to the generator, so wNAF splitting will not buy
* us anything.
*/
numblocks = 1;
totalnum = num + 1; /* don't use wNAF splitting */
wNAF[num] = tmp_wNAF;
wNAF[num + 1] = NULL;
wNAF_len[num] = tmp_len;
if (tmp_len > max_len) max_len = tmp_len;
