Subject: Re: Bit slice implementation of DES based hashes

Hello,

Sorry I forgot to mark question mark.

I want to discuss below code with you.

#define init_depth() \
>     int depth; \
>     depth = index >> ARCH_BITS_LOG; \
>     index &= (ARCH_BITS - 1);

1.Does depth here means word?
2.Why we are using init_depth() even it always led to depth=0
3.What is the significance of ARCH_BITS_LOG here?


Thanks
