[new feature/improvement] new user function iterated as the do_one_computation() but not timed

[matbok]

Consider adding a new function (to be developed by the dudect user), similar to the do_one_computation() but to be executed before it and not to be included in the measurement.
I think I'll implement it.
If you want, I could share it.

[oreparaz]

can you please explain what would be the use of it? normally that computation should be done before the whole batch of measurements (for example, in key scheduling).

[matbok]

It's been a long time, so I hope to well remember... But consider, for example, that I would like to validate the constant-time-ness of the AEAD auth. tag generation, but before I need to init/append some information that I would not want to consider in the measurement. in that new function I would call the init and append, leaving the tag generation in the do_one_computation() function.
Did I answered to you?
