Hello OpenSSL developers,
I am in need of a few extra error codes for my PKCS#11 extension,
But I am not quite sure that I grasped all the details of
the error code system.
What I understand is that
- the defines for the codes are in the '.err' files in their
respective sections of the library.
- a script generates tables of error codes and the proper lines for
the '.h' header.
- Within the actual library sources the codes are only used by their
symbolic names
What I do not understand is:
- If the actual numbers are never used, why are they not automaticaly
generated, one for each line in the '.err' files, and why are
they not in sequence, making inserting new ones a much more risky
business.
TIA
mfg lutz
