added adapter to AnyWriter and GenericWriter to help bridge the gap
between old and new API
make std.testing.expectFmt work at compile-time
std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.
Breakage/deprecations:
* std.fs.File.reader -> std.fs.File.deprecatedReader
* std.fs.File.writer -> std.fs.File.deprecatedWriter
* std.io.GenericReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.GenericWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.io.AnyReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.AnyWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.fmt.format -> std.fmt.deprecatedFormat
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeLower -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeUpper -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexLower -> {x}
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexUpper -> {X}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeDec -> {B}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeBin -> {Bi}
* std.fmt.fmtDuration -> {D}
* std.fmt.fmtDurationSigned -> {D}
* {} -> {f} when there is a format method
* format method signature
- anytype -> *std.io.Writer
- inferred error set -> error{WriteFailed}
- options -> (deleted)
* std.fmt.Formatted
- now takes context type explicitly
- no fmt string
Use inline to vastly simplify the exposed API. This allows a
comptime-known endian parameter to be propogated, making extra functions
for a specific endianness completely unnecessary.
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
For 25519, it's very likely that applications would ever need the
serialized representation. Expose the value as an integer as in
other curves. Rename the internal representation from `field_size`
to `field_order` for consistency.
Also fix a common typo in `scalar.sub()`.
Add the ability to generate a random, canonical curve25519 scalar,
like we do for p256.
Also leverage the existing CompressedScalar type to represent these
scalars.
We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
* 25519: remove unused const, safeguard against unreduced scalars
No behavior change, but it makes the existing code better match
the forthcoming code for other curves.
Rename nonAdjacentForm() to slide(), remove an unneeded and
confusing constant, and do a reduction in slide() if 257 bits would
be required.
Note that in all the high-level functions, the top bit is always
cleared, so the reduction is never necessary. But since the low-level
functions are public, the check is a safe thing to have.
* 25519: make identityElement public, deprecate neutralElement
Also fix a few comments by the way.
std/crypto: use finer-grained error sets in function signatures
Returning the `crypto.Error` error set for all crypto operations
was very convenient to ensure that errors were used consistently,
and to avoid having multiple error names for the same thing.
The flipside is that callers were forced to always handle all
possible errors, even those that could never be returned by a
function.
This PR makes all functions return union sets of the actual errors
they can return.
The error sets themselves are all limited to a single error.
Larger sets are useful for platform-specific APIs, but we don't have
any of these in `std/crypto`, and I couldn't find any meaningful way
to build larger sets.
Let's follow the road paved by the removal of 'z'/'Z', the Formatter
pattern is nice enough to let us remove the remaining four special cases
and declare u8 slices free from any special casing!
