All we really need to do is: 3) If so, replace them with a merged prefix or range. + + +Doh. A lot of the missing documentation is buried in ssleay.txt, +which the other documentation says not to read because it's so old. +But it's where Eric explains all the basic data structures and +expected usage as of the dawn of time, so most of the stuff that's so +old that it's undocumented is really documented there. Sigh. + +Anyway, it looks like the xxx_new() functions already set pointers of +sub structures to NULL or allocate the substructures (have to check +which for the things we care about, I guess), and the xxx_free() +functions already clean up complex structures. So be sure to set +unused pointers to NULL if one has been fiddling. + +foo->type fields may be initialized to -1 too, need to check that. + +So the destructor routines I wrote are unnecessary, and some of the +memset()s may be actively harmful. Need to clean that up. |
