OCB has been around for a long time.
It's simpler, faster and more secure than AES-GCM.
RFC 7253 was published in 2014. OCB also won the CAESAR competition
along with AEGIS.
It's been implemented in OpenSSL and other libraries for years.
So, why isn't everybody using it instead of GCM? And why don't we
have it in Zig already?
The sad reason for this was patents. GCM was invented only to work
around these patents, and for all this time, OCB was that nice
thing that everybody knew existed but that couldn't be freely used.
That just changed. The OCB patents are now abandoned, and OCB's
author just announced that OCB was officially public domain.
Beside the new order being consistent with the ThreadPool API and making
more sense, this shuffling allows to write the context argument type in
terms of the startFn arguments, reducing the use of anytype (eg. less
explicit casts when using comptime_int parameters, yay).
Sorry for the breakage.
Closes#8082
This completes the process. All target CPU features are now
auto-generated by the tools/update_cpu_features.zig script, which
contains all the overrides.
Invoking this tool against LLVM 12rc2 now produces an empty git diff.
With this change, added & modified cpus & features participate in the
same pruning system, and sorting takes into account the zig name, not
the pre-modified llvm name.
The modified target files in this commit are due to the improved
sorting and pruning.
The script now fully supports extra cpus & features.
The tools/update_cpu_features script is coming along, and generates
correct information for all these targets. The remaining targets are:
* arm
* aarch64
* amdgpu
* riscv
I will commit them once the issues with the updater tool are resolved.
This introduces {'} to indicate escape for a single-quoted string,
and {} to indicate escape for a double quoted string.
Without this, there would be unnecessary \' inside double quoted
strings, and unnecessary \" inside single quoted strings.
Motivated by the llvm12 branch, in the new tool I am writing for
updating target CPU features.
Conflicts:
* src/clang.zig
* src/llvm.zig
- this file got moved to src/llvm/bindings.zig in master branch so I
had to put the new LLVM arch/os enum tags into it.
* lib/std/target.zig, src/stage1/target.cpp
- haiku had an inconsistency with its default target ABI, gnu vs
eabi. In this commit we make it gnu in both places to match the
latest changes by @hoanga.
* src/translate_c.zig
This is an accident from a merge conflict introduced in
7edb204edfa41e11776ac009da5a20fb1c907f5f.
The new pipe2 code I believe is supposed to work for all posix-like
systems. If haiku needs special handling here, it should be
re-introduced.
* no isHaiku() function since there is not more than one os tag that
this applies to.
* clean up some control flow into a switch
* add some TODO comments to investigate panics that suspiciously look
like they should be compile errors (see #363)
Reverts bf642204b373e01314ecfb0c50a643dc4b05746f and uses a different
workaround, suggested by @LemonBoy.
There is either a compiler bug or a design flaw somewhere around here.
It does not have to block this branch, but I need to understand exactly
what's going on here and make it so that nobody ever has to run into
this problem again.
