Typedef Documentation

hardened_bool_t

typedef enum hardened_bool hardened_bool_t

This is a boolean type for use in hardened contexts.

The intention is that this is used instead of <stdbool.h>'s #bool, where a higher hamming distance is required between the truthy and the falsey value.

The values below were chosen at random, with some specific restrictions. They have a Hamming Distance of 8, and they are 11-bit values so they can be materialized with a single instruction on RISC-V. They are also specifically not the complement of each other.

Enumerator
kHardenedBoolTrue	The truthy value, expected to be used like #true.
kHardenedBoolFalse	The falsey value, expected to be used like #false.
kHardenedBoolTrue	The truthy value, expected to be used like #true.
kHardenedBoolFalse	The falsey value, expected to be used like #false.
