It's to deal with the several incompatible C runtime libraries MS has on Wintel, since an EXE and a DLL might use different libraries. http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#PROG2 (read to end; the original approach was just to prohibit differences) It is used, dynamically, only when you pass FILE* opens across the EXE/DLL interface, for example PEM_read_xyz but not PEM_read_bio_xyz with a BIO_new_file fopen'ed in the DLL. >Idea here is to make this code work for ARM too. I could >compile/link it, but the DLLs are not working. I would hope that ARM/WinRT doesn't need this silliness and you can just configure USE_APPLINK off. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
