This replaces the Babai rounding at runtime in
SplitScalar()
by a right-shift. We precomputeb=2^m*v/d
(m > log2(d)
) and then at runtime computescalar*b/2^m
. This increases the bounds on sub-scalars by 1 which we check at runtime before increasing the loop size (we don't target constant-timeness).m
is chosen to be a machine word twice big thanlog2(d)
so that we rarely increase the loop size.
