Signature of EVP_DigestVerifyFinal()
Dear all I'm a total OpenSSL newbie, so please be kind. While writing my C++ program, I stumbled over the somewhat strange signature of EVP_DigestVerifyFinal: int EVP_DigestVerifyFinal(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *sig, size_t siglen); I'm pretty sure that the second argument (sig) should actually be of type const unsigned char*. I come to this conclusion since the EVP_DigestVerifyFinal() function only calls EVP_PKEY_verify() and the EVP_MD_CTX::pctx::pmeth::verifyctx function pointer which is set via EVP_PKEY_meth_set_verifyctx(). Both of those functions take a const unsigned char* argument, so there is simply no point in having the sig argument to EVP_DigestVerifyFinal being modifiable. Am I missing something here? I tried googling for this, but nothing useful turned up.
