example) are declared with some extra linkage information. This
generates a warning when using the function name as a value to a
regular function pointer with the "correct" definition of the
function. Therefore, use a macro to cast the appropriate function on
VMS.
callbacks, and their prototypes were consistent as they were. These casts
need reversing.
Also, I personally find line breaks during parameter lists (ie a line
ending in a comma) easier to read at a glance than line breaks at the end
of a function call and before a dereference on the return value (ie a line
ending in a closed-bracket followed by a line starting with "->").
"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).
LHASH code, this evil was uncovered. The cast was obscuring the fact that
the function was prototyped to take 2 parameters when in fact it is being
used as a callback that should take only one. Anyway, the function itself
ignores the second parameter (thankfully). A proper cure is on the way but
for now this corrects the inconsistency.

functions need to be constified, and therefore meant a number of easy
changes a little everywhere.
Now, if someone could explain to me why OBJ_dup() cheats...
DECLARE/IMPLEMENT macros now exist to create type (and prototype) safe
wrapper functions that avoid the use of function pointer casting yet retain
type-safety for type-specific callbacks. However, most of the usage within
OpenSSL itself doesn't really require the extra function because the hash
and compare callbacks are internal functions declared only for use by the
hash table. So this change catches all those cases and reimplements the
functions using the base-level LHASH prototypes and does per-variable
casting inside those functions to convert to the appropriate item type.
The exception so far is in ssl_lib.c where the hash and compare callbacks
are not static - they're exposed in ssl.h so their prototypes should not be
changed. In this last case, the IMPLEMENT_LHASH_*** macros have been left
intact.
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.
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.
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.
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.
