-Subject: [PATCH] openssl: fix dereferencing ambiguity potentially causing
- build failure
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-When dereferencing from *aes_ctr_cipher, being a pointer itself,
-ambiguity can occur with compiler and build can fail reporting:
-openssl.c:574:20: error: ‘*aes_ctr_cipher’ is a pointer; did you mean to use ‘->’?
-     *aes_ctr_cipher->nid = type;
-
-Sorround every *aes_ctr_cipher-> occurence with paranthesis like this
-(*aes_ctr_cipher)->
-
