Hmm, i think that depends on which BN_ functions. In your example,
BN_bin2bn() returns a new BIGNUM object, so you do not need to BN_new().

Hi,
If i reuse a BIGNUM created with BN_new() without

does the BIGNUM dynamically allocate memory eac
thanks Nils,

no
does the BIGNUM dynamically allocate memory each time
it is used by certain functions?
yes (but only if it's required)
for example
i create BIGNUM * tempBN=BN_new();
i might make a call
