In that case, why not change the interface of blk_SHA1Block() so that its second argument is const unsigned char* and get rid of __d and the { } ? Then it will look like this: static void blk_SHA1Block(blk_SHA_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char *data); ... #define SHA_SRC(t) \ ( (data[(t)*4 + 0] << 24) | (data[(t)*4 + 1] << 16) | \ (data[(t)*4 + 2] << 8) | (data[(t)*4 + 3] << 0) ) Plus, we need something like the following to handle storing the hash to an unaligned buffer (warning copy/pasted): @@ -73,8 +74,12 @@ void blk_SHA1_Final(unsigned char hashout[20], blk_SHA_CTX *c /* Output hash */ - for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) - ((unsigned int *)hashout)[i] = htonl(ctx->H[i]); + for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) { + *hashout++ = (unsigned char) (ctx->H[i] >> 24); + *hashout++ = (unsigned char) (ctx->H[i] >> 16); + *hashout++ = (unsigned char) (ctx->H[i] >> 8); + *hashout++ = (unsigned char) (ctx->H[i] >> 0); + } } #if defined(__i386__) || defined(__x86_64__) With these two changes plus a few other minor tweaks, the block-sha1 code compiles and passes the test suite on sparc (solaris 7) and mips (irix 6.5). -brandon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
