I tried declaring it as "extern" variable, but at linking the linker says it cannot find the symbol. Generally speaking: no. Practically speaking, it depends. Provided we're talking about shared libraries, it's a definite "no" on Windows, VMS, Linux and Solaris (the list of Unix platforms are likely to expand) because the non-public symbols aren't made available. If we're talking about static libraries, no symbols are hidden. I would *not* recommend fiddling with the non-public symbols. You may be safe in one OpenSSL version, but you cannot know what's happening with them in the next.
