Passing data with callback-functions

[Scheltema, R.A.]

Hi all,

I'm currently working on an implementation of a program using openssl. In
this program it would be extremely usefull if I could pass data to the
callback-functions in the way, for example, the thread call-back method is
done (or x-event-methods, ...). The password method would look like:

struct myData {
   // ...
};

static int __supply_passwd(char *buf, int len, int WhatIsThis, void *data) {
   struct myData *md = (myData *) data;
   // ...
}

int main() {
   myData *d = new myData;
   SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb(m_ctx, &__supply_passwd, (void *) d);
   // ...
   return 0;
}


With the current situation it is, according to me, impossible to do this. Or
am I wrong? If not is it an option for future releases ??


Thanx ahead,
   Richard.
