- use `PascalCase` for all types. So, AES256GCM is now Aes256Gcm.
- consistently use `_length` instead of mixing `_size` and `_length` for the
constants we expose
- Use `minimum_key_length` when it represents an actual minimum length.
Otherwise, use `key_length`.
- Require output buffers (for ciphertexts, macs, hashes) to be of the right
size, not at least of that size in some functions, and the exact size elsewhere.
- Use a `_bits` suffix instead of `_length` when a size is represented as a
number of bits to avoid confusion.
- Functions returning a constant-sized slice are now defined as a slice instead
of a pointer + a runtime assertion. This is the case for most hash functions.
- Use `camelCase` for all functions instead of `snake_case`.
No functional changes, but these are breaking API changes.
* Reorganize crypto/aes in order to separate parameters, implementations and
modes.
* Add a zero-cost abstraction over the internal representation of a block,
so that blocks can be kept in vector registers in optimized implementations.
* Add architecture-independent aesenc/aesdec/aesenclast/aesdeclast operations,
so that any AES-based primitive can be implemented, including these that don't
use the original key schedule (AES-PRF, AEGIS, MeowHash...)
* Add support for parallelization/wide blocks to take advantage of hardware
implementations.
* Align T-tables to cache lines in the software implementations to slightly
reduce side channels.
* Add an optimized implementation for modern Intel CPUs with AES-NI.
* Add new tests (AES256 key expansion).
* Reimplement the counter mode to work with any block cipher, any endianness
and to take advantage of wide blocks.
* Add benchmarks for AES.
* Implements #3768. This is a sweeping breaking change that requires
many (trivial) edits to Zig source code. Array values no longer
coerced to slices; however one may use `&` to obtain a reference to
an array value, which may then be coerced to a slice.
* Adds `IrInstruction::dump`, for debugging purposes. It's useful to
call to inspect the instruction when debugging Zig IR.
* Fixes bugs with result location semantics. See the new behavior test
cases, and compile error test cases.
* Fixes bugs with `@typeInfo` not properly resolving const values.
* Behavior tests are passing but std lib tests are not yet. There
is more work to do before merging this branch.
