"doall" functions to using type-safe wrappers. As and where required, this
can be replaced by redeclaring the underlying callbacks to use the
underlying "void"-based prototypes (eg. if performance suffers from an
extra level of function invocation).
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.
'p' more than once without an intervening sequence point. This behavior
is undefined." What it essentially complains about is 'p=p+=1'. Now it's
changed to 'p=p+1'...
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.
the result.
I have retained the old behavior of the CONF_* functions, and have
added a more "object oriented" interface through NCONF_* functions
(New CONF, you see :-)), working the same way as, for example, the
BIO interface. Really, the CONF_* are rewritten so they use the
NCONF_* functions internally.
In addition to that, I've split the old conf.c code into two files,
conf_def.c and conf_api.c. conf_def.c contains the default config
object that reads a configuration file the standard OpenSSL way, as
well as configuration file with Win32 registry file syntax (I'm not
sure I got that one right). conf_api.c provides an API to build other
configuration file readers around (can you see a configuraion file in
XML? I can :-)).
Finally, I've changed the name conf_lcl.h to conf_def.h, since it's
made specifically for that "class" and none others.
