## Detailed Description

Library configuration file.

`config_int.h` provides defines and typedefs for fixed size integers. The library's choices for fixed size integers predates other standard-based integers by about 5 years. After fixed sizes were made standard, the library continued to use its own definitions for compatibility with previous versions of the library.

`config.h` was split into components in May 2019 to better integrate with Autoconf and its feature tests. The splitting occurred so users could continue to include `config.h` while allowing Autoconf to write new `config_asm.h` and new `config_cxx.h` using its feature tests.

Note
  You should include `config.h` rather than `config_int.h` directly.

## Macro Definition Documentation

## ◆ CRYPTOPP_NO_GLOBAL_BYTE

#define CRYPTOPP_NO_GLOBAL_BYTE 1

Library byte guard.

CRYPTOPP_NO_GLOBAL_BYTE indicates `byte` is in the Crypto++ namespace.

The Crypto++ `byte` was originally in global namespace to avoid ambiguity with other byte typedefs. `byte` was moved to CryptoPP namespace at Crypto++ 6.0 due to C++17, `std::byte` and potential compile problems.

  Issue 442, std::byte on the Crypto++ wiki

Since
  Crypto++ 6.0

Definition at line 41 of file config_int.h.

## ◆ W64LIT

#define W64LIT | ( |  | x | ) | ...

Declare an unsigned word64.

W64LIT is used to portability declare or assign 64-bit literal values. W64LIT will append the proper suffix to ensure the compiler accepts the literal.

Use the macro like shown below.

       word64 x = W64LIT(0xffffffffffffffff);

Since
  Crypto++ 1.0

Definition at line 119 of file config_int.h.

## ◆ SW64LIT

#define SW64LIT | ( |  | x | ) | ...

Declare a signed word64.

SW64LIT is used to portability declare or assign 64-bit literal values. SW64LIT will append the proper suffix to ensure the compiler accepts the literal.

Use the macro like shown below.

       sword64 x = SW64LIT(0xffffffffffffffff);

Since
  Crypto++ 8.0

Definition at line 129 of file config_int.h.

## ◆ CRYPTOPP_BOOL_SLOW_WORD64

#define CRYPTOPP_BOOL_SLOW_WORD64 ...

Declare ops on word64 are slow.

CRYPTOPP_BOOL_SLOW_WORD64 is typically defined to 1 on platforms that have a machine word smaller than 64-bits. That is, the define is present on 32-bit platforms. The define is also present on platforms where the cpu is slow even with a 64-bit cpu.

Definition at line 136 of file config_int.h.

## ◆ CRYPTOPP_WORD128_AVAILABLE

#define CRYPTOPP_WORD128_AVAILABLE ...

128-bit word availability

CRYPTOPP_WORD128_AVAILABLE indicates a 128-bit word is available from the platform. 128-bit words are usually available on 64-bit platforms, but not available 32-bit platforms.

If CRYPTOPP_WORD128_AVAILABLE is not defined, then 128-bit words are not available.

GCC and compatible compilers signal 128-bit word availability with the preporcessor macro `__SIZEOF_INT128__ >= 16`.

  Crypto++ 2.0

## Typedef Documentation

## ◆ byte

typedef unsigned char byte

  CRYPTOPP_NO_GLOBAL_BYTE, Issue 442, std::byte on the Crypto++ wiki

Since
  Crypto++ 1.0, CryptoPP namespace since Crypto++ 6.0

Definition at line 56 of file config_int.h.

typedef signed char sbyte

8-bit signed datatype

The 8-bit signed datatype was added to support constant time implementations for curve25519, X25519 key agreement and ed25519 signatures.

Since
  Crypto++ 8.0

Definition at line 69 of file config_int.h.

## ◆ sword16

typedef signed short sword16

Since
  Crypto++ 8.0

Definition at line 81 of file config_int.h.

## ◆ word64

typedef unsigned long long word64

64-bit unsigned datatype

The typedef for `word64` varies depending on the platform. On Microsoft platforms it is `unsigned __int64`. On Unix & Linux with LP64 data model it is `unsigned long`. On Unix & Linux with ILP32 data model it is `unsigned long long`.

Since
  Crypto++ 1.0

Definition at line 91 of file config_int.h.

## ◆ sword64
