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.
when they cause the destination to expand.
To see how evil this is try this:
#include <pem.h>
main()
{
BIGNUM *bn = NULL;
int i;
bn = BN_new();
BN_hex2bn(&bn, "FFFFFFFF");
BN_add_word(bn, 1);
printf("Value %s\n", BN_bn2hex(bn));
}
This would typically fail before the patch.
It also screws up if you comment out the BN_hex2bn line above or in any
situation where BN_add_word() causes the number of BN_ULONGs in the result
to change (try doubling the number of FFs).
1. The already released version was 0.9.1c and not 0.9.1b
2. The next release should be 0.9.2 and not 0.9.1d, because
first the changes are already too large, second we should avoid any more
0.9.1x confusions and third, the Apache version semantics of
VERSION.REVISION.PATCHLEVEL for the version string is reasonable (and here
.2 is already just a patchlevel and not major change).
