In fact, those functions don't even exist any more. The only way to
get data into a primitive hash state is via the new put_* system. Of
course, that means put_data() is a viable replacement for every
previous call to one of the per-hash update functions - but just
mechanically doing that would have missed the opportunity to simplify
a lot of the call sites.
I've finally got tired of all the code throughout PuTTY that repeats
the same logic about how to format the SSH binary primitives like
uint32, string, mpint. We've got reasonably organised code in ssh.c
that appends things like that to 'struct Packet'; something similar in
sftp.c which repeats a lot of the work; utility functions in various
places to format an mpint to feed to one or another hash function; and
no end of totally ad-hoc stuff in functions like public key blob
formatters which actually have to _count up_ the size of data
painstakingly, then malloc exactly that much and mess about with
PUT_32BIT.
It's time to bring all of that into one place, and stop repeating
myself in error-prone ways everywhere. The new marshal.h defines a
system in which I centralise all the actual marshalling functions, and
then layer a touch of C macro trickery on top to allow me to (look as
if I) pass a wide range of different types to those functions, as long
as the target type has been set up in the right way to have a write()
function.
This commit adds the new header and source file, and sets up some
general centralised types (strbuf and the various hash-function
contexts like SHA_State), but doesn't use the new calls for anything
yet.
(I've also renamed some internal functions in import.c which were
using the same names that I've just defined macros over. That won't
last long - those functions are going to go away soon, so the changed
names are strictly temporary.)
This permits a hash state to be cloned in the middle of being used, so
that multiple strings with the same prefix can be hashed without
having to repeat all the computation over the prefix.
Having done that, we'll also sometimes need to free a hash state that
we aren't generating actual hash output from, so we need a free method
as well.
SHA-384 was previously not implemented at all, but is a trivial
adjustment to SHA-512 (different starting constants, and truncate the
output hash). Both are now exposed as 'ssh_hash' structures so that
key exchange methods can ask for them.
