Subject: VERSION_openssl_hex_version() returns a string
Hi, The new VERSION_openssl_hex_version() introduced in 0.65_13 returns a formated string version of the OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER: SV * VERSION_openssl_hex_version() CODE: RETVAL = newSVpvf("0x%8.8x", (unsigned) OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER); OUTPUT: RETVAL Why convert an integer to a string in an API? Why not instead just export OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER (which is a compile time constant) as an integer constant? -- Olivier Mengué - http://perlresume.org/DOLMEN

Good point. Will fix that. Thank you very much. -- Sinan On Thu Apr 17 05:55:07 2014, DOLMEN wrote: Show quoted text

As of 0.65_15 (which I am going to upload soon), openssl_hex_version has been replaced with openssl_version_number which just returns the value of the macro OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER. Thank you again. -- Sinan On Fri Apr 18 19:42:34 2014, NANIS wrote: Show quoted text
