This script doesn't work.

Input:
"foo" (without the quotes)

SHA-256 hash according to UTF8_SHA_256("foo") in this script:
709E80C88487A2411E1EE4DFB9F22A861492D20C4765150C0C794ABD70F8147C

SHA-256 hash according to every other SHA-256 hasher I could find on the internet:
2C26B46B68FFC68FF99B453C1D30413413422D706483BFA0F98A5E886266E7AE

I'll work on it. Ob, thanks for the revert. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 21:16, 16 November 2013 (PST)
Ok, so the script passes it's self tests in LSLEditor, which is a good indication we are dealing with an order of operations bug or something that LSLEditor does differently than LSL. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 22:03, 18 November 2013 (PST)
If I had to guess without doing any real work it's probably a Base64 implementation issue with LSLEditor. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 22:19, 18 November 2013 (PST)
The major change is how the length at the beginning is calculated (god I wish I had written more comments), I'm going to roll that bit of code back seeing as the other changes aren't effected by order of operations and are related to speeding the code up. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 22:33, 18 November 2013 (PST)

It was a Base64 problem. I used the wrong macro. The macro I used doesn't do length checking on the input, so I'm now using the one that does use length checking. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 02:48, 19 November 2013 (PST)

256KiB limit

HA! Nobody noticed the 256KiB limit. I'll be fixing that. -- Strife (talk|contribs)

The limit is now 16MiB. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 03:19, 19 November 2013 (PST)
Darn, I need to revisit this, my solution works great for byte content but sucks for bit content. Save that for another day. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 03:31, 19 November 2013 (PST)
I could use the WRITEBASE64INTEGER or WRITEBASE64INTEGERPAIR but both are overkill and add too much overhead. I should make a version of the functions that uses DWORDLIST2HEX but hell, I'm not doing it now. I'd like to implement SHA-3 but the memory requirements are amazing. It would take no less than 300 integers just to store the state, which would make it very slow in LSL. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 21:28, 25 November 2013 (PST)
