This switches to line oriented parsing for the test files. Previously we we using streams for names, and lines for values. We can now use whitespace and make the tests a bit more readable by grouping similar tests. AlgorithmType will clear the current accumlated values.
This is only a work-around for the moment. The issue only affects SIMD code. The problem is, the algorithm we use performs a 32-bit add as an intermediate result, but we really need a 64-bit add. We are running 4 transforms in parallel, and we can't add and carry the way we need to.
The workaround is, whenever we could cross the 32-bit counter boundary we use the C version of the transform. We determine the cross-over point by 'bool safe = 0xffffffff - state.low > 4'. When not safe we skip the SIMD version of the algorithm and use the C version. Once we are safe again we use the SIMD version again.
The work-around costs us about 0.1 to 0.2 cpb. At 1.10 or 1.15 cpb that equates to about 200 MB/s on a Skylake. We'd like to get it back eventually.
I think this may be related to the VectorSource check-in. The error is:
algparam.h: In constructor 'ConstByteArrayParameter::ConstByteArrayParameter(const T&, bool) [with T = std::vector<byte, std::allocator<byte> >]':
filters.h:1444: instantiated from here
algparam.h:56: error: 'const class std::vector<byte, std::allocator<byte> >' has no member named 'data'
This allows users to -DCRYPTOPP_ALTIVEC_AVAILABLE=0 on the command line. It is especially important on PPC, which varies wildly among compilers dating back to the 2000's
adhoc.cpp was a bit uncomfortable because we had to copy it out from adhoc.cpp.proto. For some reason CMake could not perform the copy, so we started using pch.cpp in CMake. This commit keeps them consistent.
We may have problems with one test, and that is the Newlib tests. I seem to recall they a C++ header included to properly identify its use. We cross that bridge during MinGW testing.
Autotools sets up its config.h file with the '#define XXX 0' or '#define XXX 1' pattern. This check-in makes the sources Autotools aware. We need to verify CMake does the same
