     *
     * To blind the scalar used in the computation, we rewrite this to be
     * R = (gn - b)*G + b*G, with a blinding value b determined by the context.
     *
     * The multiplication (gn-b)*G will be performed using a signed-digit multi-comb (see Section
     * 3.3 of "Fast and compact elliptic-curve cryptography" by Mike Hamburg,
     * https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/309).
     *
     * Let comb(s, P) = sum((2*s[i]-1)*2^i*P for i=0..COMB_BITS-1), where s[i] is the i'th bit of
     * the binary representation of scalar s. So the s[i] values determine whether -2^i*P (s[i]=0)
     * or +2^i*P (s[i]=1) are added together. COMB_BITS is at least 256, so all bits of s are
     * covered. By manipulating:
     *
     *     comb(s, P) = sum((2*s[i]-1)*2^i*P for i=0..COMB_BITS-1)
     * <=> comb(s, P) = sum((2*s[i]-1)*2^i for i=0..COMB_BITS-1) * P
     * <=> comb(s, P) = (2*sum(s[i]*2^i for i=0..COMB_BITS-1) - sum(2^i for i=0..COMB_BITS-1)) * P
     * <=> comb(s, P) = (2*s - (2^COMB_BITS - 1)) * P
     *
     * If we wanted to compute (gn-b)*G as comb(s, G), it would need to hold that
     *
     *     (gn - b) * G = (2*s - (2^COMB_BITS - 1)) * G
     * <=> s = (gn - b + (2^COMB_BITS - 1))/2 (mod order)
     *
     * We use an alternative here that avoids the modular division by two: instead we compute
     * (gn-b)*G as comb(d, G/2). For that to hold it must be the case that
     *
     *     (gn - b) * G = (2*d - (2^COMB_BITS - 1)) * (G/2)
     * <=> d = gn - b + (2^COMB_BITS - 1)/2 (mod order)
     *
     * Adding precomputation, our final equations become:
     *
     *     ecmult_gen_ctx->scalar_offset = (2^COMB_BITS - 1)/2 - b (mod order)
     *     ecmult_gen_ctx->ge_offset = b*G
     *     d = gn + ecmult_gen_ctx->scalar_offset (mod order)
     *     R = comb(d, G/2) + ecmult_gen_ctx->ge_offset
     *
     * comb(d, G/2) function is then computed by summing + or - 2^(i-1)*G, for i=0..COMB_BITS-1,
     * depending on the value of the bits d[i] of the binary representation of scalar d.

    /* In secp256k1_ecmult_gen_prec_table we have precomputed sums of the
     * (2*d[i]-1) * 2^(i-1) * G points, for various combinations of i positions.
     * We rewrite our equation in terms of these table entries.
     *
     * Let mask(b) = sum(2^((b*COMB_TEETH + t)*COMB_SPACING) for t=0..COMB_TEETH-1),
     * with b ranging from 0 to COMB_BLOCKS-1. So for example with COMB_BLOCKS=11,
     * COMB_TEETH=6, COMB_SPACING=4, we would have:
     *   mask(0)  = 2^0   + 2^4   + 2^8   + 2^12  + 2^16  + 2^20,
     *   mask(1)  = 2^24  + 2^28  + 2^32  + 2^36  + 2^40  + 2^44,
     *   mask(2)  = 2^48  + 2^52  + 2^56  + 2^60  + 2^64  + 2^68,
     *   ...
     *   mask(10) = 2^240 + 2^244 + 2^248 + 2^252 + 2^256 + 2^260
     *
     * We will split up the bits d[i] using these masks. Specifically, each mask is
     * used COMB_SPACING times, with different shifts:
     *
     * d = (d & mask(0)<<0) + (d & mask(1)<<0) + ... + (d & mask(COMB_BLOCKS-1)<<0) +
     *     (d & mask(0)<<1) + (d & mask(1)<<1) + ... + (d & mask(COMB_BLOCKS-1)<<1) +
     *     ...
     *     (d & mask(0)<<(COMB_SPACING-1)) + ...
     *
     * Now define table(b, m) = (m - mask(b)/2) * G, and we will precompute these values for
     * b=0..COMB_BLOCKS-1, and for all values m which (d & mask(b)) can take (so m can take on
     * 2^COMB_TEETH distinct values).
     *
     * If m=(d & mask(b)), then table(b, m) is the sum of 2^i * (2*d[i]-1) * G/2, with i
     * iterating over the set bits in mask(b). In our example, table(2, 2^48 + 2^56 + 2^68)
     * would equal (2^48 - 2^52 + 2^56 - 2^60 - 2^64 + 2^68) * G/2.
     *
     * With that, we can rewrite comb(d, G/2) as:
     *
     *     2^0 * (table(0, d>>0 & mask(0)) + ... + table(COMB_BLOCKS-1, d>>0 & mask(COMP_BLOCKS-1)))
     *   + 2^1 * (table(0, d>>1 & mask(0)) + ... + table(COMB_BLOCKS-1, d>>1 & mask(COMP_BLOCKS-1)))
     *   + 2^2 * (table(0, d>>2 & mask(0)) + ... + table(COMB_BLOCKS-1, d>>2 & mask(COMP_BLOCKS-1)))
     *   + ...
     *   + 2^(COMB_SPACING-1) * (table(0, d>>(COMB_SPACING-1) & mask(0)) + ...)
     *
     * Or more generically as
     *
     *   sum(2^i * sum(table(b, d>>i & mask(b)), b=0..COMB_BLOCKS-1), i=0..COMB_SPACING-1)
     *
     * This is implemented using an outer loop that runs in reverse order over the lines of this
     * equation, which in each iteration runs an inner loop that adds the terms of that line and
     * then doubles the result before proceeding to the next line.
     *
     * In pseudocode:
     *   c = infinity
     *   for comb_off in range(COMB_SPACING - 1, -1, -1):
     *     for block in range(COMB_BLOCKS):
     *       c += table(block, (d >> comb_off) & mask(block))
     *     if comb_off > 0:
     *       c = 2*c
     *   return c
     *
     * This computes c = comb(d, G/2), and thus finally R = c + ecmult_gen_ctx->ge_offset. Note that
     * it would be possible to apply an initial offset instead of a final offset (moving ge_offset
     * to take the place of infinity above), but the chosen approach allows using (in a future
     * improvement) an incomplete addition formula for most of the multiplication.
     *
     * The last question is how to implement the table(b, m) function. For any value of b,
     * m=(d & mask(b)) can only take on at most 2^COMB_TEETH possible values (the last one may have
     * fewer as there mask(b) may exceed the curve order). So we could create COMB_BLOCK tables
     * which contain a value for each such m value.
     *
     * Now note that if m=(d & mask(b)), then flipping the relevant bits of m results in negating
     * the result of table(b, m). This is because table(b,m XOR mask(b)) = table(b, mask(b) - m) =
     * (mask(b) - m - mask(b)/2)*G = (-m + mask(b)/2)*G = -(m - mask(b)/2)*G = -table(b, m).
     * Because of this it suffices to only store the first half of the m values for every b. If an
     * entry from the second half is needed, we look up its bit-flipped version instead, and negate
     * it.
     *
     * secp256k1_ecmult_gen_prec_table[b][index] stores the table(b, m) entries. Index
     * is the relevant mask(b) bits of m packed together without gaps. */
