We had a discussion about this and the preference was to have get methods retain const for various reasons. Instead the DSA_SIG/ECDSA_SIG structures now no longer pre-allocate r/s so they aren't immediately freed when you set them. > The issue is not only for ECDSA but also for DSA_SIG and RSA, DSA, DH > keys where situation is similar. > Do you have some examples of how this affects other structures? For RSA/DSA/DH keys the fields are NULL initially unless I've missed something. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson. OpenSSL project core developer.
