Thank you.
I fixed the comment. It's now:
==========================
/* RESULT = P1 + P2 (Weierstrass version).
* P2 is represented by affine coordinate (X2,Y2).
* P1 is never same to P2.
* P1 may be at infinity, in this case, it results invalid RESULT.
* It's caller's responsibility not to use the invalid RESULT. */
static void
add_points_weierstrass_a (mpi_point_t result,
==========================
Before the change, we use general "add two points" routine of
(X1:Y1:Z1) + (X2:Y2:Z2) -> (X3:Y3:Z3)
for "multiplying a point".
We can put the assumption of Z2 == 1 for the computation of "multiplying
a point", and the computation can be done simpler.
(In future) we could introduce more efficient ECC multiplying routine
with precomputed table lookup. This improvement allows the table of
(X, Y) which is smaller than the table of (X:Y:Z).
