ECC

I'm working towards adding ECDH and ECDSA support to gnutls. I've currently ported libtomcrypt to use gmp directly and nettle's types. The code is under development, and can be found at: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnutls.git;a=tree;f=lib/nettle;h=23d9… The ECC functionality is confined to the ecc* files. It would be nice if nettle included it or something similar. btw. Is there any plan on an 2.2 release? regards, Nikos

On Solaris, nettle-stdint.h is expected to contain /* generated using gnu compiler gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 */ #define _STDINT_HAVE_STDINT_H 1 /* ................... shortcircuit part ........................... */ #if defined HAVE_STDINT_H || defined _STDINT_HAVE_STDINT_H #include <stdint.h> #else ... lots of irrelevant stuff... #endif And there seems to be a /usr/include/stdint.h on the system I look, so I don't think it's a gcc-specific include file. What does your nettle-stdin.h look like? If it is different, something went wrong at configure time when nettle was installed.. And what is "./../gl/stdint.h", that's from gnulib? nettle-stdint.h does not refer gl_int_fast8_t as far as I can see, so I guess there's a #define int_fast8_t gl_int_fast8_t somewhere. The failures seem to all be related to the various *_fast_*_t type, where the spec leaves a lot of room for the implementation. So if different packages defines these them selves, it's not very surprising that they might have different ideas about what they should be. But in the Solaris case, the right thing is most likely to use the definitions from /usr/include/stdint.h, and *no* others. I haven't looked at gnulib, but I *hope* it has some short-circuit code like in nettle-stdint.h, to fall back to the system's stdint.h or inttypes.h if one of them exists and works. /Niels PS.
