rdinate system. In the case of EC_POINTs_make_affine the value <b>num</b> provides the number of points in the array <b>points</b> to be forced.</p>

<p>EC_POINT_mul is a convenient interface to EC_POINTs_mul: it calculates the value generator * <b>n</b> + <b>q</b> * <b>m</b> and stores the result in <b>r</b>. The value <b>n</b> may be NULL in which case the result is just <b>q</b> * <b>m</b> (variable point multiplication). Alternatively, both <b>q</b> and <b>m</b> may be NULL, and <b>n</b> non-NULL, in wh
