More detailed failure modes

[sonOfRa]

When verifying the password in argon2-jvm, it can only return true or false. The native verify-function however also passes through other error codes, like ARGON2_DECODING_FAIL or ARGON2_INCORRECT_TYPE if the hash is ill-formed. Is there any chance of exposing this information (for example via exceptions) in argon2-jvm?

I could add a more advanced verify method in the Argon2Advanced interface. Do you need that or is that only a nice-to-have feature?

[sonOfRa]

Nice-to-have. I'm building a password-hashing library at https://github.com/sonOfRa/pwhash, and was considering exposing more than success/failure. But I'm not even sure if I'll do that or just stick with "false" on every failure mode. So definitely a rather low-priority feature.

Thanks for the clarification.
