Hi All,
On page 133 of the User Guide 2.0 for the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module
v2.0, the document (book?) talks about symbol renaming. The discussion
occurs in "Appendix I, API Entry Points by Source File," and the text
is below.
Why does symbol renaming occur?
Jeff
Symbol renaming: Some symbol names as defined in the source code are
dynamically redefined at build time. This API documentation shows both
the original (source code) and build time (object code) symbol names,
for instance:
FIPS_bn_bn2bin (renames BN_bn2bin) in file
./crypto/bn/bn_lib.[o|c]
which indicates that the FIPS_bn_bn2bin() function as seen in the
compiled code (./crypto/bn/bn_lib.o) is found in the source code as
function BN_bn2bin() in source file ./crypto/bn/bn_lib.c.
