I've seen occasional printouts of what look like empty address extensions, need to check that those really are empty (as opposed to just a printout bug that's aborting i2r...). + + + +asid v2i is losing on ranges because the ASN1_INTEGER reader code +doesn't like our punctuation. Simplest answer would be to use +strtol() to read the number then convert it with ASN1_INTEGER_set(), +which would work fine for now but won't work with 32-bit AS numbers +(ASN1_INTEGER_set() wants long, not unsigned long). + +Less efficient answer would be to strdup() the substring we want, etc. + +Scary efficient answer would be to clone ASN1_INTEGER_set() for +unsigned long. + +While efficiency is tempting, it's probably misguided in this case. +At the moment we are just dealing with ASN.1 integers at a fairly +abstract level and don't care a whit about machine representation, +which is probably the right thing since the user only cares about +ASN.1 and text. So strdup() is probably the right answer. |
