This is new async functionality in OpenSSL that uses these APIS. > imho that's an openssl bug. if they really need the *context apis, then use adequate (link-time) configure check for them. but looking at http://git.openssl.org/?p=openssl.git;a=commit;h=a3667c316ae60ef454fb804221c3ca44af30a9aa this async lib is probably misguided, but they can implement the api with pthreads in a portable way. > This is as of musl:master:47314f1 and openssl:master:4c35c93 > > > Thanks, > > -- > -Todd Short > // tshort@...mai.com<mailto:tshort@...mai.com> > // "One if by land, two if by sea, three if by the Internet." >
