  56  *

  58  * searches and similar processes in different ways.  Of course, for simple
  59  * searches, it's possible to use the @pfilt@ and @rabin@ functions and
  60  * maintain control over the general control flow throughout the search.
  61  *
  62  * For more complex cases, this sort of control is undesirable.  It's
  63  * possible to specify an event handler which is informed in abstract about
  64  * the search.  The event handler can also request the search be aborted.

  95 /*----- Prime search parameters -------------------------------------------*
  96  *
  97  * The prime search is parameterized in a large number of ways, although this
  98  * isn't so much of a surprise given the different sorts of properties
  99  * required from prime numbers in cryptographic applications.
 100  *
 101  * There are two main things which need to be configured: stepping, and
 102  * testing.  (Filtering is done as part of stepping.)
 103  *
 104  * The functions here provide a toolkit for constructing stepping and testing
 105  * routines.  In a lot of cases, the functions can be used directly; in
 106  * others, simple bits of glue need be written.
 107  *
 108  * Two types of functions are defined: steppers and testers, but their
 109  * interfaces are substantially similar.  Each is given a request code, a
 110  * context block and an event block.  It is meant to update its context and
 111  * the event block and return an event code.
 112  *
 113  * A call with a request of @PGEN_BEGIN@ asks the stepper or tester to
 114  * initialize itself using the information in its event block and context.  A
 115  * return of @PGEN_FAIL@ reports an immediate failure; @PGEN_ABORT@ reports a
 116  * fatal problem; @PGEN_DONE@ reports immediate success.  @PGEN_TRY@ reports
 117  * successful initialization and requests test iterations.
 118  *
 119  * A call to a stepper with a request of @PGEN_TRY@ asks it to step to the
 120  * next possible candidate, replacing the value @m@ in the event block with
 121  * the new candidate.  A call to a tester with a request of @PGEN_TRY@
 122  * runs one pass of the test.  It should return @PGEN_FAIL@ to report a
 123  * failure, @PGEN_PASS@ to report a success and request another iteration,
 124  * @PGEN_DONE@ to report final acceptance and @PGEN_ABORT@ to terminate the
 125  * search unsuccessfully.  Note that even if the search is aborted, a
 126  * shutdown request is still made.
 127  *
 128  * A call with a request of @PGEN_DONE@ closes down the stepper or tester.
 129  * After a successful initialization (i.e., a return of something other than
 130  * @PGEN_ABORT@), a shutdown call is guaranteed.  The return code is ignored.
