Yes and that happened to be a way that worked on all the compilers OpenSSL used at the time. The main purpose of the casting it to provide type safe checking at compile time and have no runtime overhead. If there is an alternative to achieve the same result (inline calls perhaps?) then we can have that as a compilation option. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
