Henry de Valence	b4db0afe18	Allow Options in the VartimeMultiscalarMul trait ... This changes the primary function for the `VartimeMultiscalarMul` trait to an `optional_multiscalar_mul` trait that accepts `Option<Self::Point>` (and returns `None` if any input points are `None`). The existing `vartime_multiscalar_mul` is changed to be a wrapper around this function to avoid code duplication. This may result in an extra copy of each input point, but that cost is probably not significant compared to the cost of the multiscalar multiplication. The motivation is to allow performing multiscalar multiplications with inline decompression. Currently, API consumers have to allocate temporary buffers for all of their points, decompress into those buffers, then pass (iterators over) those buffers into the multiscalar multiplication code, which then creates new buffers for lookup tables.	2018-07-17 08:19:48 -07:00
