functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
"OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
is normally done by Configure or something similar).
To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
in the source file (foo.c) like this:
OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
#define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
#define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
header file everywere where the defined globals are used.
The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bt different.
The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
and make all files the depend on it include it without prefixing it
with openssl/.
This means that all Makefiles will have $(TOP) as one of the include
directories.
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.
record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will write a
separate record, which will be read separately by the programs trying
to read from it. This can be very confusing.
The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer text
until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a line at a
time, so every record written will be an actual line, not chunks of
lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've seen it once) several
lines in one record. Voila, BIO_f_linebuffer() is born.
Since we're so close to release time, I'm making this VMS-only for
now, just to make sure no code is needlessly broken by this. After
the release, this BIO method will be enabled on all other platforms as
well.
be needed in some ENGINE code, and might serve elsewhere as well.
Note that it's implemented in such a way that the locking itself is
done through the same CRYPTO_lock function as the static locks.
WARNING: This is currently experimental and untested code (it will get
tested soon, though :-)).
"symbols" including functions (of all prototypes( and variables. Whilst
casting any function type to another violates ANSI C (I believe), it is
a necessary evil in shared-library APIs. However, it is quite
conceivable that functions in general and data symbols could very well
be represented differently to each other on some systems, as Bodo said;

I agree. So this change splits the "dso_bind" handler in DSO_METHOD
into "dso_bind_var" and "dso_bind_func". Similarly the exported
function DSO_bind() has been split in two. I've also put together
changes for the various DSO_METHOD implementations, but so far only
DSO_dlfcn() has been tested. BTW: The prototype for dso_bind had been
a bit strange so I've taken the opportunity to change its shape (in
both variations).
Also, the README has been updated - particularly with a note about
using customised native name-translation for shared libraries (and that
you can't do it yet).
Also, "make update" has added some missing functions to libeay.num,
updated the TABLE for the alpha changes, and updated thousands of
dependancies that have changed from recent commits.
There's no trace of it being implemented and it doesn't seem to have been
intended given that it is prototyped with a BIO yet there was a BIO-
specific version added in at the same time.
variety of platforms. A few are missing, and they will be added in
eventually, but as this is new stuff, it was better to not break lots of
platforms in one go that we can't easily test. The changes to "Configure"
should illustrate how to add support to other systems if you feel like
having a go.
NB: I'll add something shortly to allow you to add "dlfcn.h" support on
those platforms that don't have (or need) a dlfcn.h header file. (The
symbol for Configure will probably by "dlfcn_no_h").
Thanks to Richard Levitte, who is responsible for the dso_dl.c support,
understanding the trickier aspects of the build process, and giving great
feedback on everything else.
[Don't use this stuff if you're easily offended by changes to the
interface or behaviour - it's still work in progress.]
PR:
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.
yet.
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.
Extend the X509_PURPOSE structure to include shortnames for purposed and default
trust ids.
Still need some extendable trust checking code and integration with the SSL and
S/MIME code.
plain not working :-(
Also fix some memory leaks in the new X509_NAME code.
Fix so new app_rand code doesn't crash 'x509' and move #include so it compiles
under Win32.
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.
Prototypes and constant declarations for non-copying reads and writes for
BIO pairs (which is totally untested as of now, so I don't yet commit
the actual source code, but reserve the numbers to avoid conflicts).
be explicitly stated with PKCS#7 verify.
Also fix for util/mkerr.pl: if the -nostatic option is being used this will be
for an external library so the autogenerated C file should include the
header file as:
#include "any/path/to/header.h"
rather than the internal library form:
#include <openssl/header.h>
Win32 version of rename() ). There isn't a precise rename() equivalent under
Win95: the standard rename() complains if the destination already exists so
replaced with a combination of unlink() and MoveFile().
without -debug option to mk1mf.pl. Change _export to is_export (_export is
a reserved word under VC++). Add yucky function prototype function pointer
casts. Sanitise the included files in crypto/x509v3.
Also changed ssleay.exe target to openssl.exe
