- This avoids having multiple `init()` functions for every combination
of optional parameters
- The API is consistent across all hash functions
- New options can be added later without breaking existing applications.
For example, this is going to come in handy if we implement parallelization
for BLAKE2 and BLAKE3.
- We don't have a mix of snake_case and camelCase functions any more, at
least in the public crypto API
Support for BLAKE2 salt and personalization (more commonly called context)
parameters have been implemented by the way to illustrate this.
Justification:
- reset() is unnecessary; states that have to be reused can be copied
- reset() is error-prone. Copying a previous state prevents forgetting
struct members.
- reset() forces implementation to store sensitive data (key, initial state)
in memory even when they are not needed.
- reset() is confusing as it has a different meaning elsewhere in Zig.
* 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.
