Yes, you should open a ticket on the issue tracker. However, I'm not
sure if Dr. Stephen Henson will agree to add this change to the current
stable versions (0.9.8x and 1.0.0x) as he usually delays header changes
till the 1.1.0 release.

Thanks Mounir,
I'd like to use ECDSA_METHOD to implement a dynamic engine for
ecdsa. I want to avoid copying the header files from the upstream
source so that my engine package can compile stand-alone. This should
be in line with the way dynamic engines have worked for other
algorithms since 0.9.8, if I understand correctly.
Should I open an item in the issue tracker for this?
Thanks,
Kent

Hi,
In the case of RSA_METHOD, it is working because the underlying type
rsa_meth_st is defined in rsa.h, whereas for ECDSA_METHOD, the underlying
type ecdsa_method is not exported by the public headers: it is defined in
the internal OpenSSL header ecs_locl.h found in the source distribution.
That explains why you are getting the compile error.
I don't know why it was done like this, but if you really need this
structure then you'll have to copy its definition from the header I
mentioned above.
Cheers,

Hi,
The following RSA code compiles:
#include<openssl/rsa.h>
main() { RSA_METHOD rsa = { "test" }; }
but this ECDSA code doesn't:
#include<openssl/ecdsa.h>
main() { ECDSA_METHOD ecdsa = { "test" }; }
Am I missing a declaration, or is this perhaps a bug?
Thanks,
Kent
