The previous introduction of constant deprecation macros
in platform_util.h lead to failure of tests/scrips/check-names.sh
because the regular expressions in the latter choked on the brackets
in the part `__attribute__((deprecated))` of the definition of the
helper type `mbedtls_deprecated_{numeric|string}_constant_t`.
Postponing any further study and potential robustness improvements
in check-names.sh to another time, this commit circumvents this
problem by temporarily abbreviating `__attribute__((deprecated))`
as `MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED`, which doesn't lead to problems with
check-names.sh.
This commit introduces macros
* MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_STRING_CONSTANT
* MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_NUMERIC_CONSTANT
to platform_util.h which can be used to deprecate public macro constants.
Their definition is essentially taken from dhm.h where the
MBEDTLS_DEPRECATED_STRING_CONSTANT was used to deprecate
insecure hardcoded DHM primes.
Add inclusion to configration file in header files,
instead of relying on other header files to include
the configuration file. This issue resolves#1371
- Be specific about the constraints: be a readable/writable buffer of length
X, be an initialized context, be a context initialized and bound to a key...
- Always use full sentences with all the required pronouns.
Previously, one could change the definition of AES_VALIDATE_RET() to return
some other code than MBEDTLS_ERR_AES_BAD_INPUT_DATA, and the test suite
wouldn't notice. Now this modification would make the suite fail as expected.
It's better if the macro receives the condition as an expression rather than a
string - that way it can choose to use it as is or stringify it. Also, the
documentation states that the parameter is an expression, not a string.
The test framework for validation of parameters depends on the macro
MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED() being set to its default value when building the
library. So far the test framework attempted to define this macro but this was
the wrong place - this definition wouldn't be picked by the library.
Instead, a different approach is taken: skip those tests when the macro is
defined in config.h, as in that case we have no way to know if it will indeed
end up calling mbedtls_param_failed() as we need it to.
This commit was tested by manually ensuring that aes_invalid_params:
- passes (and is not skipped) in the default configuration
- is skipped when MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED() is defined in config.h
The previous prototype gave warnings are the strings produced by #cond and
__FILE__ are const, so we shouldn't implicitly cast them to non-const.
While at it modifying most example programs:
- include the header that has the function declaration, so that the definition
can be checked to match by the compiler
- fix whitespace
- make it work even if PLATFORM_C is not defined:
- CHECK_PARAMS is not documented as depending on PLATFORM_C and there is
no reason why it should
- so, remove the corresponding #if defined in each program...
- and add missing #defines for mbedtls_exit when needed
The result has been tested (make all test with -Werror) with the following
configurations:
- full with CHECK_PARAMS with PLATFORM_C
- full with CHECK_PARAMS without PLATFORM_C
- full without CHECK_PARAMS without PLATFORM_C
- full without CHECK_PARAMS with PLATFORM_C
Additionally, it has been manually tested that adding
mbedtls_aes_init( NULL );
near the normal call to mbedtls_aes_init() in programs/aes/aescrypt2.c has the
expected effect when running the program.
It was inconsistent between files: sometimes 3 arguments, sometimes one.
Align to 1 argument for the macro and 3 for the function, because:
- we don't need 3 arguments for the macro, it can add __FILE__ and __LINE__
in its expansion, while the function needs them as parameters to be correct;
- people who re-defined the macro should have flexibility, and 3 arguments
can give the impression they they don't have as much as they actually do;
- the design document has the macro with 1 argument, so let's stick to that.
The function called through the macro MBEDTLS_PARAM_FAILED() must be supplied by
users and makes no sense as a library function, apart from debug and test.
