and structures as constant without having to cast away const at any point.
There is still plenty of other code that makes gcc's "-Wcast-qual" unhappy,
but crypto/bn/ is now ok. Purists are welcome to suggest alternatives.
structures being passed in to or out of API functions, and this corrects a
couple of cases found so far.
Also, lop off a couple of bytes of white-space.
I have tried to convert 'len' type variable declarations to unsigned as a
means to address these warnings when appropriate, but when in doubt I have
used casts in the comparisons instead. The better solution (that would get
us all lynched by API users) would be to go through and convert all the
function prototypes and structure definitions to use unsigned variables
except when signed is necessary. The proliferation of (signed) "int" for
strictly non-negative uses is unfortunate.
happens reliably, even if the BIGNUM is already sufficiently large.
[Note that the bn_expand()/bn_wexpand() macros call bn_expand2() only
if the BIGNUM actually has to grow, so this change does not add any
new overhead as currently bn_expand2() is never called directly.]
This caused a segmentation fault in calls to malloc, so I cleaned up
bn_lib.c a little so that it is easier to see what is going on.
The bug turned out to be an off-by-one error in BN_bin2bn.
two functions that did expansion on in parameters (BN_mul() and
BN_sqr()). The problem was solved by making bn_dup_expand() which is
a mix of bn_expand2() and BN_dup().
like Malloc, Realloc and especially Free conflict with already existing names
on some operating systems or other packages. That is reason enough to change
the names of the OpenSSL memory allocation macros to something that has a
better chance of being unique, like prepending them with OPENSSL_.
This change includes all the name changes needed throughout all C files.
when they cause the destination to expand.
To see how evil this is try this:
#include <pem.h>
main()
{
BIGNUM *bn = NULL;
int i;
bn = BN_new();
BN_hex2bn(&bn, "FFFFFFFF");
BN_add_word(bn, 1);
printf("Value %s\n", BN_bn2hex(bn));
}
This would typically fail before the patch.
It also screws up if you comment out the BN_hex2bn line above or in any
situation where BN_add_word() causes the number of BN_ULONGs in the result
to change (try doubling the number of FFs).
1. The already released version was 0.9.1c and not 0.9.1b
2. The next release should be 0.9.2 and not 0.9.1d, because
first the changes are already too large, second we should avoid any more
0.9.1x confusions and third, the Apache version semantics of
VERSION.REVISION.PATCHLEVEL for the version string is reasonable (and here
.2 is already just a patchlevel and not major change).
