Enable aligned allocations under IBM XL C/C++. Based on the AIX malloc man pages, "... the block is aligned so that it can be used for any type of data". Previously CRYPTOPP_NO_ALIGNED_ALLOC was in effect.
Use malloc instead of calloc on OS X. Based on the OS X malloc man pages, "... the allocated memory is aligned such that it can be used for any data type, including AltiVec- and SSE-related types". Additionally, calloc zero'd the memory it allocated which slowed things down on Apple systems.
StringWiden converts a narrow C-style string to a wide string. It serves the opposite role of StringNarrow function. The function is useful on Windows platforms where the OS favors wide functions with the UTF-16 character set. For example, the Data Proction API (DPAPI) allows a description, but its a wide character C-string. There is no narrwo version of the API.
trap.h and CRYPTOPP_ASSERT has existed for over a year in Master. We deferred on the cut-over waiting for a minor version bump (5.7). We have to use it now due to CVE-2016-7420
- added AuthenticatedSymmetricCipher interface class and Filter wrappers
- added CCM, GCM (with SSE2 assembly), CMAC, and SEED
- improved AES speed on x86 and x64
- removed WORD64_AVAILABLE; compiler 64-bit int support is now required
