Name
word32 CheckRunTimeFastMath(void )
This function checks the runtime fastmath settings for the maximum size of an integer. It is important when a user is using a wolfCrypt library independently, as the FP_SIZE must match for each library in order for math to work correctly. This check is defined as CheckFastMathSettings(), which simply compares CheckRunTimeFastMath and FP_SIZE, returning 0 if there is a mismatch, or 1 if they match.
word32 CheckRunTimeSettings(void )
This function checks the compile time class settings. It is important when a user is using a wolfCrypt library independently, as the settings must match between libraries for math to work correctly. This check is defined as CheckCtcSettings(), which simply compares CheckRunTimeSettings and CTC_SETTINGS, returning 0 if there is a mismatch, or 1 if they match.

function CheckRunTimeFastMath

word32 CheckRunTimeFastMath(
    void 
)

This function checks the runtime fastmath settings for the maximum size of an integer. It is important when a user is using a wolfCrypt library independently, as the FP_SIZE must match for each library in order for math to work correctly. This check is defined as CheckFastMathSettings(), which simply compares CheckRunTimeFastMath and FP_SIZE, returning 0 if there is a mismatch, or 1 if they match.

Parameters:

  • none No parameters.

See: CheckRunTimeSettings

Return: FP_SIZE Returns FP_SIZE, corresponding to the max size available for the math library.

Example

if (CheckFastMathSettings() != 1) {
return err_sys("Build vs. runtime fastmath FP_MAX_BITS mismatch\n");
}
// This is converted by the preprocessor to:
// if ( (CheckRunTimeFastMath() == FP_SIZE) != 1) {
// and confirms that the fast math settings match
// the compile time settings

function CheckRunTimeSettings

word32 CheckRunTimeSettings(
    void 
)

This function checks the compile time class settings. It is important when a user is using a wolfCrypt library independently, as the settings must match between libraries for math to work correctly. This check is defined as CheckCtcSettings(), which simply compares CheckRunTimeSettings and CTC_SETTINGS, returning 0 if there is a mismatch, or 1 if they match.

Parameters:

  • none No Parameters.

See: CheckRunTimeFastMath

Return: settings Returns the runtime CTC_SETTINGS (Compile Time Settings)

Example

if (CheckCtcSettings() != 1) {
    return err_sys("Build vs. runtime math mismatch\n");
}
// This is converted by the preprocessor to:
// if ( (CheckCtcSettings() == CTC_SETTINGS) != 1) {
// and will compare whether the compile time class settings
// match the current settings
