A remark, that probably applies to other neighbor pacakges;
I checked the call graph to see how it is tested, and it seems we just test with testData
--> with random scalars.
Should we add some edge cases tests ? (i.e. scalar at 0, p-1, 1, ...),
Yes indeed we should test edge cases. We already do so for emulated and native SW packages. Here it should be easier because formulas are complete. |

Looks perfect! I only added some comments what my local linter mentioned (unused arguments in methods).

Description
Fixes #268
Type of change
How has this been tested?
TestCurve
for Bandersnatch pass when usingscalarMulGLV
.How has this been benchmarked?
Bandersnatch
in R1CS:2-bit windowed double-and-add: 3,314
GLV: 2,735
Bandersnatch
in SCS:2-bit windowed double-and-add: 5,991
GLV: 6,077
So the GLV saves 579 r1cs but adds 86 scs, which is because of the non-native scalar decomposition check. In this PR we use GLV only if endomorphism + R1CS.
