compiled into *our* aplpications. That's because mingw is always
consistent with itself. Having library-side code linked into .dll
makes it possible to deploy the .dll with user-code compiled with
another compiler [which is pretty much the whole point behind Applink].
This is now the case for RC5.
As a side effect, the OPTIONS in the Makefile will usually look a
little different now, but they are essentially only for information
anyway.
Idea is to provide unified "fall-down" case for all rare platforms out
there. ./config is free to enable some optimizations, such as endianness
specification, specific -mcpu flags...
apparently impossible to compose blended code with would perform
satisfactory on all x86 and x86_64 cores, an extra RC4_CHAR
code-path is introduced and P4 core is detected at run-time. This
way we keep original performance on non-P4 implementations and
turbo-charge P4 performance by factor of 2.8x (on 32-bit core).
COFF and a.out targets [similar to ELF targets]. You might notice some
rudementary support for shared mingw builds under cygwin. It works (it
produces cryptoeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll with everything exported by
name), but it's primarily for testing/debugging purposes, at least for
now...
is to have a placeholder to small routines, which can be written only
in assembler. In IA-32 case this includes processor capability
identification and access to Time-Stamp Counter. As discussed earlier
OPENSSL_ia32cap is introduced to control recently added SSE2 code
pathes (see docs/crypto/OPENSSL_ia32cap.pod). For the moment the
code is operational on ELF platforms only. I haven't checked it yet,
but I have all reasons to believe that Windows build should fail to
link too. I'll be looking into it shortly...
especially for AIX. But most important BIGNUM assembler implementation
submitted by IBM.
