But note that 0.9.6c has correct versions of the files autogenerated
from objects.txt (obj_mac.h, obj_dat.h), so libraries built from
the source distribution will not be buggy.
Furthermore, it create conflicts with LDAP and some RFCs that define
"UID" as a lable for the attribute type userId (which we haven't even
defined here).
The next question is if we should update objects.txt with the added
stuff from the main trunk.
'ranlib' doesn't always run on some systems. That's actually
acceptable, since all that happens if it fails is a library with an
index, which makes linking slower, but still working correctly.
could be done automagically, much like the numbering in libeay.num and
ssleay.num. The solution works as follows:
- New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following the
syntax given in objects.README.
- objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
obj_mac.h.
- obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
obj_mac.h.
This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way to
check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and check the
array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved around (this is
important!). Additions are OK, as well as consistent name changes.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
