while debugging some C code, i encountered an odd issue that i haven't seen
before. the trouble is with spacing and nested array evaluation. the line(s) of
code in question look like
u_int8_t y0, y1, y2, y3;
...
y0 = Q1[ Q0 [ Q0[y0] ^ b0(L[1]) ] ^ b0(L[0]) ];
^^
where there is either 1 or 2 spaces after the first open square bracket and the
Q's are fixed permutations [1] that map u_int8_t --> u_int8_t. if the above code
is broken out like so
y0 = Q0[y0] ^ b0(L[1]);
y0 = Q0[y0] ^ b0(L[0]);
y0 = Q1[y0];
it outputs the 2-space result.
i have verified that the input y0 is the same in both the 1-space and 2-space
cases, but the results differ between the two cases. the 1-space output is
a5 1f 5b 0
and the 2-space output is
b3 1f 5b a5.
i suspect this is some C nuance of which i'm unaware. the 2-space output is the
one that i expect is "correct". cluestick me please.
[1] the Q permutations are global arrays which are listed below:
