- * On Tru64 and IRIX 6.x it works a little bit differently. There, the
- * shared library version is stored in the file, and is actually a series
- * of versions, separated by colons. The rightmost version present in the
- * library when linking an application is stored in the application to be
- * matched at run time. When the application is run, a check is done to
- * see if the library version stored in the application matches any of the
- * versions in the version string of the library itself.
- * This version string can be constructed in any way, depending on what
- * kind of matching is desired. However, to implement the same scheme as
- * the one used in the other unixen, all compatible versions, from lowest
- * to highest, should be part of the string. Consecutive builds would
- * give the following versions strings:
- *
- * 3.0
- * 3.0:3.1
- * 3.0:3.1:3.2
- * 4.0
- * 4.0:4.1
- *
- * Notice how version 4 is completely incompatible with version, and
- * therefore give the breach you can see.
- *
- * There may be other schemes as well that I haven't yet discovered.
- *
- * So, here's the way it works here: first of all, the library version
- * number doesn't need at all to match the overall OpenSSL version.
- * However, it's nice and more understandable if it actually does.
- * The current library version is stored in the macro SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER,
- * which is just a piece of text in the format "M.m.e" (Major, minor, edit).
- * For the sake of Tru64, IRIX, and any other OS that behaves in similar ways,
- * we need to keep a history of version numbers, which is done in the
- * macro SHLIB_VERSION_HISTORY. The numbers are separated by colons and
- * should only keep the versions that are binary compatible with the current.
