I've been wondering how and when OpenSSL decides whether it can use the new aes instructions? Does it decide at build time or at run time?

If I build on a CPU that supports aes instructions but run on a cpu that does not, will bad things happen? Or is OpenSSL smart enough to call functions implemented without aes instructions in that case?


Runtime.  See the file crypto/x86cpuid.pl which gets
converted to compiler-specific assembler source code.



Enjoy
