This removes quite a few methods from the interface:

  • compress is effectively the same as hash now, so I've moved to using hash everywhere on the interface
  • the withIndex methods are a superset of the methods without it -- I've left pedersenHash and pedersenHashWithIndex because the 0 hash index seems to be quite useful for circuits.js, however since circuits.js does not use barretenberg_api, we could likely get rid of it and just define it in circuits.js.

This has been merged into master piecewise by the linked commits, the issues encountered were:

  • arguments are in the wrong order for the hash variant
  • calling convention changes subtly which see the nuance between hash_index being a u32 and being a u32 const*
