Checking for equality is a somewhat different test, so rather than trying to combine the two, I might just provide separate functions that test for equality. + + + +Final code cleanups before submitting patch to OpenSSL project. + +- Ben requested compile-time conditionals and Configure support for + them. + + - Code changes: done. + + - Configure support: do we need anything beyond -DOPENSSL_RFC3779 ? + Need to read existing Configure code to see if there's a preferred + way of doing this. + +- License adjustments per discusion with ARIN and OpenSSL + project. Done. + +- Some of the static constructor functions ought to be global so that + users of the library can call them. In some cases we'd want trivial + jacket functions calling existing code, eg, all the asid stuff that + takes a pointer to an ASIdentifierChoice should probably take a + pointer to the ASIdentifier and an integer indicating AS vs RDI. + This of course begs the question of whether the internal calls + should be rewritten to use the new external calls, ie, there's some + potential cleanup work here. + + Candidates: constructors: + + - asid_add_id_or_range() [might need jacket or rewrite] + + - asid_add_inherit() [might need jacket or rewrite] + + - addr_add_range() + + - addr_add_prefix() + + - addr_add_inherit() + + Candidates: manipulation of obscure ASN.1 encodings (v3_addr.c) + + - extract_min_max() [might need rewrite] + + - addr_expand() [might need rewrite] + + - addr_prefixlen() [would need to be a function] + + - afi_from_addressfamily() + + - length_from_afi() + + I'm not really happy with the number of candidates in the latter + category, but I haven't figured out any saner way to deal with the + fancy ASN.1 encoding. Callers really should not have to understand + the RFC 3779 mappings between IP addresses and ASN.1 bitstrings. + +- Need patch against OpenSSL HEAD as well as 0.9.8 branch. Figure out + how to do that, or ask Ben for help. |
