functions. These are intended to be replacements
for the ancient ASN1_STRING_print() and X509_NAME_print()
functions.
The new functions support RFC2253 and various pretty
printing options. It is also possible to display
international characters if the terminal properly handles
UTF8 encoding (Linux seems to tolerate this if the
"unicode_start" script is run).
Still needs to be documented, integrated into other
utilities and extensively tested.
This is mostly a work around for the old VC++ problem
that it treats func() as func(void).
Various prototypes had been added to 'compare' function
pointers that triggered this. This could be fixed by removing
the prototype, adding function pointer casts to every call or
changing the passed function to use the expected arguments.
I mostly did the latter.
The mkdef.pl script was modified to remove the typesafe
functions which no longer exist.
Oh and some functions called OPENSSL_freeLibrary() were
changed back to FreeLibrary(), wonder how that happened :-)
After some messing around this seems to work but needs
a few more tests. Working out the syntax for sk_set_cmp_func()
(cast it to a function that itself returns a function pointer)
was painful :-(
Needs some testing to see what other compilers think of this
syntax.
Also needs similar stuff for ASN1_SET_OF etc etc.
was a really bad idea. For example, the following:
#include <x509.h>
#include <bio.h>
#include <asn1.h>
would make sure that things like ASN1_UTCTIME_print() wasn't defined
unless you moved the inclusion of bio.h to above the inclusion of
x509.h. The reason is that x509.h includes asn1.h, and the
declaration of ASN1_UTCTIME_print() depended on the definition of
HEADER_BIO_H. That's what I call an obscure bug.
Instead, this change makes sure that whatever header files are needed
for the correct process of one header file are included automagically,
and that the definitions of, for example, BIO-related things are
dependent on the absence of the NO_{foo} macros. This is also
consistent with the way parts of OpenSSL can be excluded at will.
"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.
that can automatically determine the type of a DER encoded
"traditional" format private key and change some of the
d2i functions to use it instead of requiring the application
to work out the key type.
Add a bunch of functions to simplify the creation of X509_NAME structures.
Change the X509_NAME_entry_add stuff in req/ca so it no longer uses
X509_NAME_entry_count(): passing -1 has the same effect.
script, translates function codes better and doesn't need the K&R function
prototypes to work (NB. the K&R prototypes can't be wiped just yet: they are
still needed by the DEF generator...). I also ran the script with the -rewrite
option to update all the header and source files.
support for subject and issuer alt name. Add a new ASN1 macro and fix a
nasty bug that left an ASN1 buffer modified on an error condition with
IMPLICIT tagging.
GeneralizedTime. At several points PKIX specifies that GeneralizedTime can be
used but OpenSSL doesn't currently support it. This patch adds several files
and a bunch of functions.
Of interest is the ASN1_TIME structure and its related functions. At several
points certificates, CRLs et al specify that a time can be expressed as a
choice of UTCTime and GeneralizedTime. Currently OpenSSL interprets this
(wrongly) as UTCTime because GeneralizedTime isn't supported. The ASN1_TIME
stuff provides this functionality.
Still todo is to trace which cert and CRL points need an ASN1_TIME and modify
the utilities appropriately and of course fix all the bugs.
Note new OpenSSL copyright in the new file a_time.c. I didn't put it in
a_gentm.c because it is a minimally modified form a_utctm.c .
Since this adds new files and error codes you will need to do a 'make errors'
at the top level to add the new codes.
