/* This file defines a function that parses DER with various errors and
 * violations. This is not a part of the library itself, because the allowed
 * violations are chosen arbitrarily and do not follow or establish any
 * standard.
 *
 * In many places it matters that different implementations do not only accept
 * the same set of valid signatures, but also reject the same set of signatures.
 * The only means to accomplish that is by strictly obeying a standard, and not
 * accepting anything else.
 *
 * Nonetheless, sometimes there is a need for compatibility with systems that
 * use signatures which do not strictly obey DER. The snippet below shows how
 * certain violations are easily supported. You may need to adapt it.
 *
 * Do not use this for new systems. Use well-defined DER or compact signatures
 * instead if you have the choice (see rustsecp256k1_v0_4_1_ecdsa_signature_parse_der and
 * rustsecp256k1_v0_4_1_ecdsa_signature_parse_compact).
 *
 * The supported violations are:
 * - All numbers are parsed as nonnegative integers, even though X.609-0207
 *   section 8.3.3 specifies that integers are always encoded as two's
 *   complement.
 * - Integers can have length 0, even though section 8.3.1 says they can't.
 * - Integers with overly long padding are accepted, violation section
 *   8.3.2.
 * - 127-byte long length descriptors are accepted, even though section
 *   8.1.3.5.c says that they are not.
 * - Trailing garbage data inside or after the signature is ignored.
 * - The length descriptor of the sequence is ignored.
 *
 * Compared to for example OpenSSL, many violations are NOT supported:
 * - Using overly long tag descriptors for the sequence or integers inside,
 *   violating section 8.1.2.2.
 * - Encoding primitive integers as constructed values, violating section
 *   8.3.1.

 *  Out:  sig:      a pointer to a signature object

 *  This function will accept any valid DER encoded signature, even if the

 *  which violate the DER spec in various ways. Its purpose is to allow
 *  validation of the Bitcoin blockchain, which includes non-DER signatures
 *  from before the network rules were updated to enforce DER. Note that
 *  the set of supported violations is a strict subset of what OpenSSL will
 *  accept.
 *
 *  After the call, sig will always be initialized. If parsing failed or the
 *  encoded numbers are out of range, signature validation with it is
 *  guaranteed to fail for every message and public key.
