Re: [openssl.org #982] BN_add failuire in tests for openssl-0.9.7e on Sun 5.8

2004-12-15 Thread Jan H. Julian via RT

Restarted from scratch and used the config command.  Not sure what 
has changed, but the gmake tests ran successfully.  Sorry for the 
report, but I cannot duplicate the error now.  Thanks for the help.

I can't reproduce this problem with Sun C 5.2. There should be
test/tmp.bntest file left over, can you submit it? Essentially this
smells compiler bug and I should recommend to try another compiler [or
apply vendor patches] or drop optimization level. We had problems with
Sun C 5.0 (as you might notice in ./config), so there is a remote
opportunity that 5.1 can be suffering from similar deficiency too... A.

Re: [PATCH] openssl-0.9.7d DSA_PRECOMPUTE 80% speed-up

2004-12-15 Thread Marius Schilder
Ok, i'm retarded. I forgot to add initialization of
the struct DSA fields i added (assuming a memset got
done without checking..). This resulted in nasty
behaviour. In hunting down this problem, i went over
the patch with paranoia, cleaner yet again and
successfully ran massive random key gen and usage
tests against it.

Patches nicely against 0.9.7e as well.

./Configure -DDSA_PRECOMPUTE to enable.
Run 'openssl speed dsa' next.

Sorry for taking your time.

Any chance a patch like this can make it into the
dist, eventually?

Not chance for the 0.9.7 series, since it changes a public structure.
For 0.9.8, I'm gonna leave it to others to decide.

Cheers,
