Subject: Document the difference between ->add and add_bits, and errors
->add and ->addbits would almost seem to do the same thing, and don't discuss errors. It's hard to work out if I'm using it in the right way... Could you please document in a bit more details exactly what each method does, exactly what each param is allowed or required to be, and what each method does on error. Thanks

They don't discuss errors because there are no errors. The add_bits stuff should really be hidden as it's not really of any practical use. It's just supporting some obscure feature of the latest SHA algorithms. I'll look into expanding the docs a bit to make this clearer. --Gisle

Well, WRT errors, what happens for example if you call ->add( undef ) or ->add( \"" ) or ->add( sub { foo } )... Adam K Gisle_Aas via RT wrote: Show quoted text
