Hi Marcel,
The SHA2 plugin (primitiveSHA256ProcessBufferUpdatingHash) still
crashes with that VM on 64-bit linux.
The plugin code works with earlier versions, so it's either a VM
change of the past 6-9 months, a code generator bug or a compiler bug IMO.
To reproduce the crash, evaluate the following:
Installer ss
project: 'Registers';
install: 'Registers-Core'.
Installer ss
project: 'Cryptography';
addPackage: 'CryptographyHashing';
addPackage: 'CryptographyHashingTests';
install.
(Smalltalk classNamed: #SHA256WithSHA2PluginTest) run: #testInputs
Interestingly another test (SHA512WithSHA2PluginTest) using a very
similar primitive but with DoubleWords works fine. So perhaps it's an
alignment issue.
Assert and debug VMs do not have that issue, so it's not that easy to
debug it. What I found was that buffer's value at
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/99f1116c0f7a4ba9a0bf88cf7deb276325aa2d79/src/plugins/SHA2Plugin/SHA2Plugin.c#L277
was not the expected pointer, so the subsequent copying into it resulted
in segmentation fault.
