Basically everything that has a direct replacement or no uses left.
Notable omissions:
- std.ArrayHashMap: Too much fallout, needs a separate cleanup.
- std.debug.runtime_safety: Too much fallout.
- std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator: Lots of references to it remain, not
a simple find and replace as "debug allocator" is not equivalent to
"general purpose allocator".
- std.io.Reader: Is being reworked at the moment.
- std.unicode.utf8Decode(): No replacement, needs a new API first.
- Manifest backwards compat options: Removal would break test data used
by TestFetchBuilder.
- panic handler needs to be a namespace: Many tests still rely on it
being a function, needs a separate cleanup.
* std.crypto: add the ability to explicitly tag a value as secret
It turns out that Valgrind can be a very useful tool to check that secrets
are not leaked via side channels involving lookups or conditional jumps.
Valgrind tracks uninitialized data, and memcheck reports operations
involving uninitialized values. By permanently or temporarily telling
Valgrind that a memory region containing secrets is uninitialized, we can
detect common side-channel vulnerabilities.
For example, the following code snippets would immediately report that the
result is not computed in constant time:
```zig
classify(&key);
const len = std.mem.indexOfScalar(u8, &key, 0);
```
```zig
classify(&key);
const idx = key[0];
x += idx;
```
```zig
var x: [4]u8 = undefined;
std.crypto.random.bytes(&x);
classify(&x);
if (std.mem.eql(u8, "test", &x)) return;
```
This is not fool-proof, but it can help a lot to detect unwanted compiler
optimizations.
Also, right now, this is relying on Valgrind primitives, but these
annotations can be used to do more interesting things later, especially with
our own code generation backends.
* Update for Zig 0.14
* Remove checks for Valgrind enablement
The compiler actually doesn't need any functional changes for this: Sema
does reification based on the tag indices of `std.builtin.Type` already!
So, no zig1.wasm update is necessary.
This change is necessary to disallow name clashes between fields and
decls on a type, which is a prerequisite of #9938.
std.crypto has quite a few instances of breaking naming conventions.
This is the beginning of an effort to address that.
Deprecates `std.crypto.utils`.
