While e_os.h is installed as a header file in the 0.9.6 branch and thus is available to applications that *want* to use it, it is meant only for internal use, so it should not be '#include'd if not *explicitly requested* by the application. If an application wants e_os.h, fair enough -- but otherwise the stuff in e_os.h may break applications. That's what that entry was about. The problem with 0.9.6-stable is that '#include <openssl/e_os.h>' was added to conf.h, <openssl/conf.h> being automatically included by x509v3.h. I consider this a bug: Writing '#include <openssl/x509v3.h>' in the application sourcecode does not mean that you want an EXIT(n) macro to be defined, to name one example. -- Bodo Möller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP http://www.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/TI/Mitarbeiter/moeller/0x36d2c658.html * TU Darmstadt, Theoretische Informatik, Alexanderstr. 10, D-64283 Darmstadt * Tel. +49-6151-16-6628, Fax +49-6151-16-6036 ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
