Re: OTC Vote: EVP init functions should accept an OSSL_PARAM array to set parameters.
We discussed that within the call. We did not add the 'optional' word because the meaning of it is convoluted with the parameter being really optional (as in fn(a, b, ...)). That the caller can pass NULL as OSSL_PARAM array pointer is already implicit.

RE: OTC Vote: EVP init functions should accept an OSSL_PARAM array to set parameters.
+1 I recall that in our discussion the OSSL_PARAM array pointer was intended to be optional, i.e., NULL pointers allowed. Maybe the word 'optional' should be added as follows?

OTC Vote: EVP init functions should accept an OSSL_PARAM array to set parameters.
topic: EVP init functions should accept an OSSL_PARAM array to set parameters. comment: This will mostly avoid calling the equivalent set_param call. Proposed by pauli. Public: yes opened: 2020-02-02 closed: 2020-02-02 accepted: yes (for: 8, against: 0, abstained: 1, not voted: 2)
