deprecate the original (numeric-only) scheme, and replace with the
CRYPTO_THREADID object. This hides the platform-specifics and should reduce
the possibility for programming errors (where failing to explicitly check
both thread ID forms could create subtle, platform-specific bugs).
Thanks to Bodo, for invaluable review and feedback.
to 'unsigned long' (ie. odd platforms/compilers), so a pointer-typed
version was added but it required portable code to check *both* modes to
determine equality. This commit maintains the availability of both thread
ID types, but deprecates the type-specific accessor APIs that invoke the
callbacks - instead a single type-independent API is used. This simplifies
software that calls into this interface, and should also make it less
error-prone - as forgetting to call and compare *both* thread ID accessors
could have led to hard-to-debug/infrequent bugs (that might only affect
certain platforms or thread implementations). As the CHANGES note says,
there were corresponding deprecations and replacements in the
thread-related functions for BN_BLINDING and ERR too.
CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), CRYPTO_thread_idptr() for a 'void *' type
thread ID, since the 'unsigned long' type of the existing thread ID
does not always work well.
Use BUF_strlcat() instead of strcat().
Use BIO_snprintf() instead of sprintf().
In some cases, keep better track of buffer lengths.
This is part of a large change submitted by Markus Friedl <markus@openbsd.org>
sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
opensslconf.h.
I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
external software that will adapt if they have used something like
NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
change would be a good thing.
functions need to be constified, and therefore meant a number of easy
changes a little everywhere.
Now, if someone could explain to me why OBJ_dup() cheats...
DECLARE/IMPLEMENT macros now exist to create type (and prototype) safe
wrapper functions that avoid the use of function pointer casting yet retain
type-safety for type-specific callbacks. However, most of the usage within
OpenSSL itself doesn't really require the extra function because the hash
and compare callbacks are internal functions declared only for use by the
hash table. So this change catches all those cases and reimplements the
functions using the base-level LHASH prototypes and does per-variable
casting inside those functions to convert to the appropriate item type.
The exception so far is in ssl_lib.c where the hash and compare callbacks
are not static - they're exposed in ssl.h so their prototypes should not be
changed. In this last case, the IMPLEMENT_LHASH_*** macros have been left
intact.
casts) used in the lhash code are about as horrible and evil as they can
be. For starters, the callback prototypes contain empty parameter lists.
Yuck.
This first change defines clearer prototypes - including "typedef"'d
function pointer types to use as "hash" and "compare" callbacks, as well as
the callbacks passed to the lh_doall and lh_doall_arg iteration functions.
Now at least more explicit (and clear) casting is required in all of the
dependant code - and that should be included in this commit.
The next step will be to hunt down and obliterate some of the function
pointer casting being used when it's not necessary - a particularly evil
variant exists in the implementation of lh_doall.
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.
"Jan Mikkelsen" <janm@transactionsite.com> correctly states that the
OpenSSL header files have #include's and extern "C"'s in an incorrect
order. Thusly fixed.
Also, make the memory debugging routines defined and declared with
prototypes, and use void* instead of char* for memory blobs.
And last of all, redo the ugly callback construct for elegance and
better definition (with prototypes).
non-function pointers to function pointers and vice versa.
The current solution is to have unions that describe the
conversion we want to do, and gives us the ability to extract
the type of data we want.
The current solution is a quick fix, and can probably be made
in a more general or elegant way.
(and that malloc can be called with an int argument).
- Use proper prototypes (with argument list) for various function pointers,
avoid casts (however there are still many such cases left in these files).
- Avoid collissions in app_info_cmp if sizeof int != sizeof long.
- Use CRYPTO_LOCK_MALLOC in mem_dbg.c.
- Moved the handling of compile-time defaults from crypto.h to
mem_dbg.c, since it doesn't make sense for the library users to try
to affect this without recompiling libcrypto.
- Made sure V_CRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME and V_CRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD had clear
and constant definitions.
- Aesthetic correction.
With this change, the following is provided and present at all times
(meaning CRYPTO_MDEBUG is no longer required to get this functionality):
- hooks to provide your own allocation and deallocation routines.
They have to have the same interface as malloc(), realloc() and
free(). They are registered by calling CRYPTO_set_mem_functions()
with the function pointers.
- hooks to provide your own memory debugging routines. The have to
have the same interface as as the CRYPTO_dbg_*() routines. They
are registered by calling CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() with
the function pointers.
I moved everything that was already built into OpenSSL and did memory
debugging to a separate file (mem_dbg.c), to make it clear what is
what.
With this, the relevance of the CRYPTO_MDEBUG has changed. The only
thing in crypto/crypto.h that it affects is the definition of the
MemCheck_start and MemCheck_stop macros.
