mechanism to the ENGINE framework. This means there there are going
to be new functionality for the DSO part, and ultimately some way of
merging two file specifications together.
This commit places the merging code into the repository. It's
currently not used anywhere, and hasn't been tested at all. It may be
full of errors, including syntactical ones. Those will be fixed as
promptly as possible.
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.
automatically, however some code was still referring to the original
pointer rather than the internal one (and thus to NULL instead of the
created pointer).
translate library names by only adding ".so" to them without
prepending them with "lib". Add the flag DSO_FLAG_NAME_TRANSLATION_EXT_ONLY
for that purpose.
appropriate filename translation on the host system. Apart from this point,
users should also note that there's a slight change in the API functions
too. The DSO now contains its own to-be-converted filename
("dso->filename"), and at the time the DSO loads the "dso->loaded_filename"
value is set to the translated form. As such, this also provides an impicit
way of determining if the DSO is currently loaded or not. Except, perhaps,
VMS .... :-)
The various DSO_METHODs have been updated for this mechanism except VMS
which is deliberately broken for now, Richard is going to look at how to
fit it in (the source comments in there explain "the issue").
Basically, the new callback scheme allows the filename conversion to
(a) be turned off altogether through the use of the
DSO_FLAG_NO_NAME_TRANSLATION flag,
(b) be handled in the default way using the default DSO_METHOD's converter
(c) overriden per-DSO by setting the override callback
(d) a mix of (b) and (c) - eg. implement an override callback that;
(i) checks if we're win32 "if(strstr(dso->meth->name, "win32"))..."
and if so, convert "blah" into "blah32.dll" (the default is
otherwise to make it "blah.dll").
(ii) default to the normal behaviour - eg. we're not on win32, so
finish with (return dso->meth->dso_name_converter(dso,NULL)).
(e) be retried a number of times by writing a new DSO_METHOD where the
"dso_load()" handler will call the converter repeatedly. Then the
custom converter could use state information in the DSO to suggest
different conversions or paths each time it is invoked.
it cope with OpenBSD which doesn't understand "RTLD_NOW".
* Added the dso_scheme config string entry for OpenBSD-x86 to give it
DSO support.
* 'make update' that has also absorbed some of Steve's mkstack changes
for the ASN-related macros.
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 :-)
"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).
