    ARM SHA256 intrinsics take state in natural order: ABCD + EFGH (hash_abcd/hash_efgh). Documented here The code already uses that layout, only the ABEF_SAVE/CDGH_SAVE names were wrong. 


    Rename to ABCD_SAVE/EFGH_SAVE. No logic change. Fix in original C code (Jeffrey): https://github.com/noloader/SHA-Intrinsics/pull/14

    `ABEF_SAVE`/`CDGH_SAVE` names were wrong. 

Rename to `ABCD_SAVE`/`EFGH_SAVE`. No logic change.

    Concept ACK.

    Based on the description and the code path, this looks correct: STATE0 maps to s[0..3] (vld1q_u32(ptr) loads 4 consecutive lanes according to the docs) (and STATE1 is similar), so ABCD_SAVE / EFGH_SAVE is semantically aligned. I checked other projects (e.g. https://botan.randombit.net/doxygen/sha1__armv8_8cpp_source.html#l00037) and did a compared the local binary and this appears to be a correct rename-only clarity fix with no logic change.


    Consider keeping the scripted rename split into two explicit substitutions to make review simpler, e.g.

    • perl -pi -e 's/\bABEF_SAVE([AB])?\b/ABCD_SAVE$1/g' src/crypto/sha256_arm_shani.cpp
    • perl -pi -e 's/\bCDGH_SAVE([AB])?\b/EFGH_SAVE$1/g' src/crypto/sha256_arm_shani.cpp
