Committed now, with some edits. Thanks!
I also added a
struct nettle_armor nettle_base64_url;
Looking at the base64_{en,de}code_ctx, maybe one could micro-optimize
them while at it, like changing
struct base64_decode_ctx
{
unsigned word;
unsigned bits;
unsigned padding;
const signed char *table;
};
(typically 16 bytes on 32-bit machines, 24 (incl. alignment padding) on
64-bit machines) to
struct base64_decode_ctx
{
const signed char *table;
unsigned short word;
unsigned char bits;
unsigned char padding;
};
which would reduce the size to 8 and 16 bytes, respectively. At least, I
think it's prettier to put the large pointer first in the struct.
