Subject: Problem with some of the MMX/SSE #defines
#ifdef MMX_COEF
/* Cygwin would not guarantee the alignment if these were declared static */
#define hmacmd5_crypt_key crypt_key
#define hmacmd5_opad opad
#define hmacmd5_ipad ipad
#define hmacmd5_cursalt cursalt
#define hmacmd5_dump dump
char crypt_key[64*MMX_COEF] __attribute__ ((aligned(16)));
unsigned char opad[PLAINTEXT_LENGTH*MMX_COEF] __attribute__ ((aligned(16)));
unsigned char ipad[PLAINTEXT_LENGTH*MMX_COEF] __attribute__ ((aligned(16)));
unsigned char cursalt[SALT_SIZE*MMX_COEF] __attribute__ ((aligned(16)));
unsigned char dump[BINARY_SIZE*MMX_COEF] __attribute__((aligned(16)));
static unsigned long total_len;
#else
This came from the file hmacMD5_fmt.c There is similar code in all of the
SSE/MMX files (most at least).
Look at the #defines. I know that they 'want' to do. That is to allow you
in the code to use a variable opad without static, but to 'mangle' the name,
so that global naming does not become a problem. However, the order of the
#defines is way wrong to do that.
I am not fixing now, but this is something which should either be fixed, or
simply dropped since it obviously is not needed.
#define hmacmd5_crypt_key crypt_key
in the above code, should be
#define crypt_key hmacmd5_crypt_key
Thus, everywhere (in this file) you use crypt_key the pre processor will
shove a hmacmd5_ name mangling 'wart' in front of it and that is what the
compiler would see. I do not know if they are all like this, but some
certainly are.
Jim.
