Remove unnecessary trailing whitespace

2019-02-05T15:29:17Z

Trim trailing whitespace. It doesn't match OpenSSL coding standards, AFAICT, and it can cause problems with git tooling. Trailing whitespace remains in test data and external source.

VMS: turning off CALL_DEBUG isn't possible on Alpha

VMS: don't use /DSF, turn off CALL_DEBUG instead

2017-03-15T02:09:57Z

It turns out that /DSF didn't do any good for our purposes. Instead, remove the CALL_DEBUG flag from any image we link. This ensures that we can have debugging information in the image files, but don't automatically end up in a debugging session upon image activation. Unfortunately, this means the CALL_DEBUG must be turned on when there is a need to run with the debugger activated, and to turn it off when done. This has been documented in NOTES.VMS.

Add a note about a perl issue on VMS and how to work around it

2016-08-06T14:00:13Z

I bug in perl's File::Spec->canonpath() was uncovered. There's nothing we can do about it (except re-implementing canonpath()), except working around the problem (a directory rename) and reporting the issue to the perl module developers. Reviewed-by: Rich Salz

Force argv to be an array of long pointers on VMS

2016-04-01T14:23:35Z

Reverts commit 087ca80ad83071dde0bb6bc1c28c743caa00eaf8 Instead of battling the odd format of argv given to main() in default P64 mode, tell the compiler to make it an array of 64-bit pointers when compiling in P64 mode. A note is added in NOTES.VMS regarding minimum DEC C version. Reviewed-by: Andy Polyakov

VMS: add a note about DECC$* logical names

2016-03-25T08:05:46Z

These logical names are used to make the C RTL change certain behaviors, sometimes to make it act more like Unix. While they can make life easier in some cases, they can be disruptive as well. When building and testing OpenSSL, the latter is the case, so we ask people to avoid using them. Reviewed-by: Tim Hudson

VMS: compensate for command line length limits with a logical name

2016-03-23T18:58:12Z

Sometimes, you might end up with a rather long compile line due to excessively long /INCLUDE directories. Compensate for it by making a temporary logical name with them and using said logical name as /INCLUDE argument. A note was added to NOTES.VMS regarding these limitations. Reviewed-by: Rich Salz
