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.
be used as the hash/compare callbacks without function pointer casting.
For now, this is just happening in the apps/ directory whilst a few people
check the approach. The rest of the library will be moved across to the
same idea if there's no problems with this.
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.
record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will write a
separate record, which will be read separately by the programs trying
to read from it. This can be very confusing.
The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer text
until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a line at a
time, so every record written will be an actual line, not chunks of
lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've seen it once) several
lines in one record. Voila, BIO_f_linebuffer() is born.
Since we're so close to release time, I'm making this VMS-only for
now, just to make sure no code is needlessly broken by this. After
the release, this BIO method will be enabled on all other platforms as
well.
environment variable OPENSSL_DEBUG_MEMORY (existence is sufficient). At the
same time, it makes sure that CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() gets expanded some-
where and thereby tested for compilation.
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.
from MemCheck_start() to CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON)
because that is what applications should use
(MemCheck_start/stop never really worked for applications
unless CRYPTO_MDEBUG was defined both when compiling the library
and when compiling the application, so probably we should
get rid of it).
`openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>' are no
longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command line
interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
Notice, the openssl.cnf, openssl.c and progs.pl files were changed after a
repository copy, i.e. they still contain the complete file history.
