-*** Important Usage Notes ***
-
-1. If a constructor for A takes a pointer to an object B (except primitive
-types such as int and char), then A owns B and will delete B at A's
-destruction. If a constructor for A takes a reference to an object B,
-then the caller retains ownership of B and should not destroy it until
-A no longer needs it.
-
-2. Crypto++ is thread safe at the class level. This means you can use
-Crypto++ safely in a multithreaded application, but you must provide
-synchronization when multiple threads access a common Crypto++ object.
-
-*** MSVC-Specific Information ***
-
-On Windows, Crypto++ can be compiled into 3 forms: a static library
-including all algorithms, a DLL with only FIPS Approved algorithms, and
-a static library with only algorithms not in the DLL.
-(FIPS Approved means Approved according to the FIPS 140-2 standard.)
-The DLL may be used by itself, or it may be used together with the second
-form of the static library. MSVC project files are included to build
-all three forms, and sample applications using each of the three forms
-are also included.
-
-To compile Crypto++ with MSVC, open the "cryptest.dsw" (for MSVC 6 and MSVC .NET
-2003) or "cryptest.sln" (for MSVC 2005 - 2010) workspace file and build one or
-more of the following projects:
-
-cryptopp - This builds the DLL. Please note that if you wish to use Crypto++
- as a FIPS validated module, you must use a pre-built DLL that has undergone
- the FIPS validation process instead of building your own.
-dlltest - This builds a sample application that only uses the DLL.
-cryptest Non-DLL-Import Configuration - This builds the full static library
- along with a full test driver.
-cryptest DLL-Import Configuration - This builds a static library containing
- only algorithms not in the DLL, along with a full test driver that uses
- both the DLL and the static library.
-
-To use the Crypto++ DLL in your application, #include "dll.h" before including
-any other Crypto++ header files, and place the DLL in the same directory as
-your .exe file. dll.h includes the line #pragma comment(lib, "cryptopp")
-so you don't have to explicitly list the import library in your project
-settings. To use a static library form of Crypto++, make the "cryptlib"
-project a dependency of your application project, or specify it as
-an additional library to link with in your project settings.
-In either case you should check the compiler options to
-make sure that the library and your application are using the same C++
-run-time libraries and calling conventions.
-
-*** DLL Memory Management ***
-
-Because it's possible for the Crypto++ DLL to delete objects allocated
-by the calling application, they must use the same C++ memory heap. Three
-methods are provided to achieve this.
-1. The calling application can tell Crypto++ what heap to use. This method
- is required when the calling application uses a non-standard heap.
-2. Crypto++ can tell the calling application what heap to use. This method
- is required when the calling application uses a statically linked C++ Run
- Time Library. (Method 1 does not work in this case because the Crypto++ DLL
- is initialized before the calling application's heap is initialized.)
-3. Crypto++ can automatically use the heap provided by the calling application's
- dynamically linked C++ Run Time Library. The calling application must
- make sure that the dynamically linked C++ Run Time Library is initialized
- before Crypto++ is loaded. (At this time it is not clear if it is possible
- to control the order in which DLLs are initialized on Windows 9x machines,
- so it might be best to avoid using this method.)
-
-When Crypto++ attaches to a new process, it searches all modules loaded
-into the process space for exported functions "GetNewAndDeleteForCryptoPP"
-and "SetNewAndDeleteFromCryptoPP". If one of these functions is found,
-Crypto++ uses methods 1 or 2, respectively, by calling the function.
-Otherwise, method 3 is used.
-
-*** GCC-Specific Information ***
-
-A makefile is included for you to compile Crypto++ with GCC. Make sure
-you are using GNU Make and GNU ld. The make process will produce two files,
-libcryptopp.a and cryptest.exe. Run "cryptest.exe v" for the validation
-suite.
-
-*** Documentation and Support ***
-
-Crypto++ is documented through inline comments in header files, which are
-processed through Doxygen to produce an HTML reference manual. You can find
-a link to the manual from http://www.cryptopp.com. Also at that site is
-the Crypto++ FAQ, which you should browse through before attempting to
-use this library, because it will likely answer many of questions that
-may come up.
-
-If you run into any problems, please try the Crypto++ mailing list.
-The subscription information and the list archive are available on
-http://www.cryptopp.com. You can also email me directly by visiting
-http://www.weidai.com, but you will probably get a faster response through
-the mailing list.
