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.
yet tighter, and also put some heat on the rest of the library by
insisting (correctly) that compare callbacks used in stacks are prototyped
with "const" parameters. This has led to a depth-first explosion of
compiler warnings in the code where 1 constification has led to 3 or 4
more. Fortunately these have all been resolved to completion and the code
seems cleaner as a result - in particular many of the _cmp() functions
should have been prototyped with "const"s, and now are. There was one
little problem however;
X509_cmp() should by rights compare "const X509 *" pointers, and it is now
declared as such. However, it's internal workings can involve
recalculating hash values and extensions if they have not already been
setup. Someone with a more intricate understanding of the flow control of
X509 might be able to tighten this up, but for now - this seemed the
obvious place to stop the "depth-first" constification of the code by
using an evil cast (they have migrated all the way here from safestack.h).
Fortunately, this is the only place in the code where this was required
to complete these type-safety changes, and it's reasonably clear and
commented, and seemed the least unacceptable of the options. Trying to
take the constification further ends up exploding out considerably, and
indeed leads directly into generalised ASN functions which are not likely
to cooperate well with this.
designed for that. This removes the potential error to mix data and
function pointers.
Please note that I'm a little unsure how incorrect calls to the old
ctrl functions should be handled, in som cases. I currently return 0
and that's it, but it may be more correct to generate a genuine error
in those cases.
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.

Add a function X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() which implements the logic
of "inheriting" purpose and trust from a parent structure and using a default:
this will be used in the SSL code and possibly future S/MIME.
Partial documentation of the 'verify' utility. Still need to document how all
the extension checking works and the various error messages.
called sess_cert instead of just cert. This is in preparation of further
changes: Probably often when s->session->sess_cert is used, we should
use s->cert instead; s->session->sess_cert should be a new structure
containing only the stuff that is for just one connection (e.g.
the peer's certificate, which the SSL client implementations currently
store in s->session->[sess_]cert, which is a very confusing thing to do).
