EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates + that the digest can only process a single chunk of data + (typically because it is provided by a piece of + hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application + is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the + framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers. + [Ben Laurie] + + +) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data" + functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global + ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg. + RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class + index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed + to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK + and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new + classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the + thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean + up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b) + such data would previously have always leaked in application code and + workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye + to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still + leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now + rather than letting it slide. + + Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change + induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now + has a return value to indicate success or failure. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + +) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the + global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default" + implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set" + the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time + any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get", + pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module + can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the + module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the + application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code. + [Geoff Thorpe] + +) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up()" function to increment reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
