When adding a sub-library , among others the file
crypto/err/openssl.ec
needs to be extended as described incrypto/err/README
.It may happen that this is forgotten or the new entry gets lost. Then
util/mkerr.pl
will simply not add the error declarations for the new sub-library, which later will lead to compilation failures. Such an omission so far is hard to debug - for instance, I spent more than an hour trying to find out why the new error symbols were not generated any more (after an inadvertent reset ofcrypto/err/openssl.ec
).For this reason I propose to add a warning like the one contained in this PR.
