Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm one of TransGaming's R&D developers working on our
portability products.<br>
<br>
We've recently done a cleanup and refactoring to the OpenSSL loading
routines; rather than loading the libraries in a few different
places we moved the code into an OpenSSL importer that consolidates
the loading into a separate library.<br>
<br>
Our importer does some additional things that might not be overly
useful to Wine, such as detecting and loading different versions of
the OpenSSL libraries at runtime (rather that using the version
detected while configuring), but the cleanup and refactoring worked
out quite well, and we think the code would still be valuable to
Wine.<br>
<br>
We could port this code back to the Wine tree, but it will take some
effort to do so. Also, our current implementation of the dynamic
OpenSSL importer isn't complete; we're only loading the specific
functions we've needed up until now.<br>
<br>
Before going to the effort of completing the library, and porting it
back to the Wine tree, I thought I'd reach out first to see if it's
even something that's of interest? If it is, great, we can complete
the library and submit some patches for review, but if the concept
isn't of interest then we'll just continue using it internally.<br>
<br>
I've attached a copy of the main C file from the OpenSSL import
library, so you can get an idea for what it will look like. Keeping
in mind that it's not finished yet, and needs some cleaning up, does
this approach look acceptable? Also attached is a patch (that won't
directly apply) that should give an idea of its intended usage.<br>
<br>
Anyone have thoughts / questions?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Tim.<br>
