Re: [PROPOSAL] rename uni2asc asc2uni because of naming conflict

2009-05-30 Thread Ger Hobbelt 
It's advised to register this at the OpenSSL issue tracker by
forwarding this to r...@openssl.org
It's no guarantee to get serviced pronto, but at least it'll get the
attention of the core devs when they have time.

(The jury is still undecided on the statistics, but providing a patch
as attachment /may/ help getting served. Also mention it's clashing
under Netware in the subject header to make this particular bit pop up
on the RT screens more prominently.)

 Hi all,
 in NetWare we have the uni2asc() and asc2uni() functions provided by the
 OS. This problem was already brought to this lists attention by Verdon
 Walker from Novell (original NetWare port author) mid of 2002:
 http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-dev@openssl.org/msg12289.html
 unfortunately this was not changed up to now.
 Now we are on the latest Subversion which can make use of the Serf
 library, and again we get the naming clashes. Any chance that the
 functions get renamed?

 thanks, Günter.

sure, no prob, also creating a patch is no prob; though I was hoping
that Steve (who seems to have written these functions 10 years ago)
would comment a bit on them: why were these two functions not prefixed
with PKCS12_ like all other functions from the beginning on? Where they
perhaps never meant for exporting but as internal functions only?
A patch would depend on this info I think.

thanks, Gün.
