deprecate the original (numeric-only) scheme, and replace with the
CRYPTO_THREADID object. This hides the platform-specifics and should reduce
the possibility for programming errors (where failing to explicitly check
both thread ID forms could create subtle, platform-specific bugs).
Thanks to Bodo, for invaluable review and feedback.
to 'unsigned long' (ie. odd platforms/compilers), so a pointer-typed
version was added but it required portable code to check *both* modes to
determine equality. This commit maintains the availability of both thread
ID types, but deprecates the type-specific accessor APIs that invoke the
callbacks - instead a single type-independent API is used. This simplifies
software that calls into this interface, and should also make it less
error-prone - as forgetting to call and compare *both* thread ID accessors
could have led to hard-to-debug/infrequent bugs (that might only affect
certain platforms or thread implementations). As the CHANGES note says,
there were corresponding deprecations and replacements in the
thread-related functions for BN_BLINDING and ERR too.
ENGINE_TABLE-based stuff - as described in crypto/engine/README.
Associated miscellaneous changes;
- the previous cipher/digest hooks that hardwired directly to EVP's
OBJ_NAME-based storage have been backed out. New cipher/digest support
has been constructed and will be committed shortly.
- each implementation defines its own ENGINE_load_<name> function now.
- the "openssl" ENGINE isn't needed or loaded any more.
- core (not algorithm or class specific) ENGINE code has been split into
multiple files to increase readability and decrease linker bloat.
- ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it wasn't really a good idea in the
first place and now, because of registration issues, can't be
meaningfully defined any more.
- BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] support is removed as per the README.
- a bug in enginetest.c has been fixed.
NB: This commit almost certainly breaks compilation until subsequent
changes are committed.
(Some platforms need _XOPEN_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED to get
the declaration, but on other platforms _XOPEN_SOURCE disables
the strdup declaration in <string.h>.)
defined.
(Preprocessor symbols such as _POSIX_C_SOURCE or _XOPEN_SOURCE are
supposed to disable anything not allowed by the respective
specification; I'm not sure why 'strdup' would be considered
an outlaw though.)
