(In principle, we could support this by adding a clone() call to Algorithm_Cache, which would in turn call clone on each of it's held prototype objects, plus adding a clone to Engine. Doesn't seem worth the bother, though.

* There was an interesting bug affecting dynamically loaded engines.lloyd2010-07-272-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The library initializer runs some self tests; this brings objects for a few select types (AES, SHA-1, etc) into the caches. Later on, when we add a dynamic engine, the engines aren't requeried because the cache has hits. So, for instance an dlopen'ed engine that provided AES-128 would not actually be used unless you called on the algo factory with a provider of "blah" - even using set_preferred_provider would have no effect, because that's just a request. Add a new function to Algorithm_Cache, clear_cache, which just deletes everything that is currently loaded (this is 90% of the destructor). Then call this on each cache in Algorithm_Factory when a new Engine is loaded. In normal use, this should be very fast because on init the engines are loaded one after another so clear_cache() won't do much work at all, but it ensures that if you load an engine later on in runtime it will always be found. It does have the downside that the app will then requery each Engine for each new algo after this point, but I think typically loading a dynamic engine will happen very early on so this won't be too much of a hassle. (And even if it happens in the middle of execution, everything still works, it just means some overhead the first time you ask for algo X).
* In Algorithm_Factory, delete the Engines after deleting the cacheslloyd2010-07-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | rather than before. Otherwise, we run into a problem with dynamically loaded engines: the engine will be deleted (and thus, the external library unloaded), before calling the destructors on any objects which may have been cached, so we jump to a now invalid address instead of the destructor code.
* Consolidate the two engines that provided assembler implementationslloyd2010-07-131-2/+1

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes for the amalgamation generator for internal headers. Remove BOTAN_DLL exporting macros from all internal-only headers; the classes/functions there don't need to be exported, and avoiding the PIC/GOT indirection can be a big win. Add missing BOTAN_DLLs where necessary, mostly gfpmath and cvc For GCC, use -fvisibility=hidden and set BOTAN_DLL to the visibility __attribute__ to export those classes/functions.

* Thomas Moschny passed along a request from the Fedora packagers which camelloyd2009-03-303-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | up during the Fedora submission review, that each source file include some text about the license. One handy Perl script later and each file now has the line Distributed under the terms of the Botan license after the copyright notices. While I was in there modifying every file anyway, I also stripped out the remainder of the block comments (lots of astericks before and after the text); this is stylistic thing I picked up when I was first learning C++ but in retrospect it is not a good style as the structure makes it harder to modify comments (with the result that comments become fewer, shorter and are less likely to be updated, which are not good things).

| | | | | | | | | | | | was not the right place to keep track of this information. Also modify all Algorithm_Factory constructor functions to take instead of a SCAN_Name a pair of std::strings - the SCAN name and an optional provider name. If a provider is specified, either that provider will be used or the request will fail. Otherwise, the library will attempt best effort, based on user-set algorithm implementation settings (combine with benchmark.h for choosing the fastest implementation at runtime) or if not set, a static ordering (preset in static_provider_weight in prov_weight.cpp, though it would be nice to make this easier to toggle).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the engines. Unfortunately right now Botan doesn't understand that a construction like HMAC, while the basic HMAC class lives only in core, can use any of a variety of implementations as the underlying algorithm. The previous version got this completely wrong (basically the first time a particular HMAC was requested, one hash provider would be chosen at random). Now instead we always use the same subprovider. This means HMAC(SHA-1) won't see a speedup even if there is an asm version available (similarly, CMAC(AES) wouldn't see a speedup with OpenSSL's AES or an engine that provided AES using VIA's or Intel's extensions). Certainly a major deficiency, but I haven't worked out how to fix it yet.
