| | | | | | | | | | | | | the word read/write functions will be faster through the use of (slightly unsafe) pointer manipulations. On some CPUs (like SPARC), these antics can cause crashes (usually visible by SIGBUS) if what you are attempting to read or write as an integer is not aligned on a word boundary. However they are safe on x86 and x86-64. Performance increases across the board on a Core2. In most algorithms the improvement seems to be about 3%, except a few standouts like RC6 (15%), MD4 (20%), RIPEMD-128 (8%). Will be better with faster xor_buf and byte swapping.
* Mass update of the copyright date. Honestly I don't know why I bother,lloyd2008-02-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | but might as well keep it up to date. And it's easier to do it once with a 'perl -pi' command than to update each file over time. Apologies to anyone looking at diffs.
* Avoid C-style casts (as detected by GCC's -Wold-style-cast) and instead use lloyd2007-07-231-13/+25

* Move the load/store operations to their own header, to allow assemblylloyd2007-07-231-0/+180
