Subject: Redesign Self-test for implementing compare on device.
Hi Solar, magnum,

First, when salt is NULL, why does the return value of crypt_all() has
match *count the way it is after crypt_all() call ? Can't we remove this
restriction ? Here's the previously discussed idea on this issue:
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/issues/1030#issuecomment-70404396
Second, alhough the specification says output indices don't have to match
input indices, the problem is we're not strictly following this during self
test. During self test we have this restriction that the length of the
input key(set using set_key()) must be equal to the length of the return
value of get_key() for same indices.

Sayantan
