Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion! But as far as I see, the assembler code in x86_64cpuid.asm _is_ the reference to OPENSSL_cpuid_setup! The runtime will call the functions given in the .CRT$XCU section before calling the main() entry. And it seems to me that the OPENSSL_cpuid_setup function in crypto/cryptlib.c does have useful code on Windows platforms, and so should be called, shouldn't it? It initializes a static variable with some processor specific info, whose value may be taken via the OPENSSL_ia32cap_loc() function.

I tried printf("%lu", *OPENSSL_ia32cap_loc()), which prints out 0 using the x64 code, while printing 2951479295 using 32-bit code, indicating that OPENSSL_cpuid_setup has only been executed with the 32-bit code. What's the impact of this? Isn't it a bug?

Cheers,
Per

I had got the same problem. I just simply deleted that section
  EXTERN    OPENSSL_cpuid_setup
  section    .CRT$XCU
      ALIGN    8
      DQ    OPENSSL_cpuid_setup

  section    .text code align=64

from the asm file because the extern OpenSSL_cpuid_setup is never referenced.

Good luck

    Hi,

    I've built 1.0.0a on Windows with VS2005, using nt.mak to get
    static libraries.
    With x64 I get warnings when linking applications, both
    openssl.exe and test programs like sha1test.exe. A snippet of
    output from nmake -f ms\nt.mak:
          link /nologo /subsystem:console /opt:ref /debug
    /out:out32\openssl.exe @C:\DOCUME~1\FRYKEN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\nm3B3.tmp
    LIBCMT.lib(crt0init.obj) : warning LNK4254: section '.CRT'
    (60000020) merged into '.rdata' (40000040) with different attributes


    And when linking our own application on x64/Release platform:
      libeay32.lib(x86_64cpuid.obj) : warning LNK4078: multiple '.CRT'
    sections found with different attributes (60500020)
      libeay32.lib(x86_64cpuid.obj) : warning LNK4210: .CRT section
    exists; there may be unhandled static initializers or terminators


    The linker command can be deduced from the following:

    I've done the following to build openssl:
      cd /d C:\utv\snibu\openssl\x64\release\openssl-1.0.0a
      call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
    8\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64
      perl Configure VC-WIN64A --prefix=c:\appl\openssl-1.0.0a\x64\release
      ms\do_win64a.bat
      nmake -f ms\nt.mak
      nmake -f ms\nt.mak install

    And the file x86_64cpuid.asm mentioned in the warnings starts with
    the following:
      default    rel
      EXTERN    OPENSSL_cpuid_setup
      section    .CRT$XCU
          ALIGN    8
          DQ    OPENSSL_cpuid_setup

      section    .text code align=64
    ...


    Could somebody help me solve this warning, it seems to me that
    OPENSSL_cpuid_setup will not be executed.


    Best regards,
    Per Frykenvall
