actually be used, namely x86* platforms [because they don't bomb on
unaligned access]. This resulted in 30-40% [depending on message
length] improvement for SHA-256 compiled with gcc and running on P4.
In the lack of assembler implementation I give the compiler all the
help it can possibly get:-)
available compiler versions generated bogus machine code trying to
compile new crypto/des/cfb_enc.c. Secondly, 8th version defines
__GNUC__ macro, but fails to compile *some* inline assembler correctly.
Note that all versions of icc implement MSC-like _lrot[rl] intrinsic,
which is used now instead of offensive asm. Finally, unnecessary linker
dependencies are eliminated. Most notably dependency from libirc.a
caused trouble at application start-up, if libcrypto.so is linked with
-Bsymbolic (which it is).
sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
opensslconf.h.
I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
external software that will adapt if they have used something like
NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
change would be a good thing.
