It's a class method rather than an object method, so it doesn't allow keys with the same algorithm to make different choices about what flags they support. But that's not what I wanted it for: the real purpose is to allow one key algorithm to delegate supported_flags to another, by having its method implementation call the one from the delegate class. (If only C's compile/link model permitted me to initialise a field of one global const struct variable to be a copy of that of another, I wouldn't need the runtime overhead of this method! But object file formats don't let you even specify that.) Most key algorithms support no flags at all, so they all want to use the same implementation of this method. So I've started a file of stubs utils/nullkey.c to contain the common stub version.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
