my code turns into something like
cocurrent 'ssl'
dec2BN=: ' BN_dec2bn + l *i *c' ssl
cocurrent 'bn'
coinsert 'ssl'
create =: 3 : 0
I =: BNnew 0{.a.
pD Ia =: > 15!:6 <'I'
pD i=. dec2BN (Ia);(": y)
2 {. i
)
but this causes cder of 6 0. whether firstdec param is *i or *l or *x.
Crashes without the *.
is 15!:6 the wrong method to get the address of my variable?

This crashes J
bn2dec a
So it's wrong, and if you get a result at all you shouldn't be
surprised if it's an inconsistent result.

BN_num_bytes is a macro, it's probably something like ([:>.0.125*BN_num_bits)

Pointer to a pointer means you need to put the pointer somewhere and
get the address of that pointer and pass that address as the argument.

I don't see that in the mentions of BN_bn2dec, here:

Looks to me like it takes an argument which is a pointer to a bignum
and returns a result which is a pointer to character (usually, but not
always, when working with C, that means it's not a single character
but an arbitrary length character sequence which is terminated by
0{a.)
Anyways, good start...
