of libcrypto, then it is possible that when they are loaded they will share
the same static data as the loading application/library. This means it will
be too late to set memory/ERR/ex_data/[etc] callbacks, but entirely
unnecessary to try.
This change (and a great part of this comment) was implemented in
0.9.8-dev a long time ago, but slightly differently. In 0.9.8-dev, a
specific function that just returns a pointer to some static object is
used. For 0.9.7x, we couldn't do that, since the way we handle feature
freezes is, among other, to not add any more non-static functions.
Instead, we use the function ERR_get_implementation() and compare the
returned value with fns->err_fns, a member of fns that already is
there, and which therefore can safely be used in this manner.
What happens is that if the loaded ENGINE's return value from this
function matches the loading application/library's return value - they
share static data. If they don't match, the loaded ENGINE has its own
copy of libcrypto's static data and so the callbacks need to be set.
should not be necessary in any case, but more importantly the result and
input BIGNUMs could be the same, in which case this is clearly a problem.
