The structure itself is only forward-declared meaning that a programmer has no way of getting into the actual evp_pkey_method_st and its fields. Now that would be fine if there were a complete set of methods EVP_PKEY_meth_* to manipulate the pointers to EVP_PKEY_METHOD. But alas there's only a few. For instance I cannot copy one struct to another meaning EVP_PKEY_meth_copy() is missing. Note that we do have EVP_PKEY_asn1_copy() which in many ways behaves the same way as its counter part. We can't also get a pointer to an existing function i.e. by calling EVP_PKEY_meth_get_ctrl(). There are no "get" methods.
If there's any rationale behind this, I'd love to know that. thanks jeff This email contains Morega Systems Inc.
