=head1 NAME

openssl_user_macros, OPENSSL_API_COMPAT, OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
- User defined macros

=head1 DESCRIPTION

User defined macros allow the programmer to control certain aspects of
what is exposed by the OpenSSL headers.

B<NOTE:> to be effective, a user defined macro I<must be defined
before including any header file that depends on it>, either in the
compilation command (C<cc -DMACRO=value>) or by defining the macro in
source before including any headers.

Other manual pages may refer to this page when declarations depend on
user defined macros.

=head2 The macros

=over 4

=item B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT>

The value is a version number, given in one of the following two forms:

=over 4

=item C<0xMNNFF000L>

This is the form supported for all versions up to 1.1.x, where C<M>
represents the major number, C<NN> represents the minor number, and
C<FF> represents the fix number, as a hexadecimal number.  For version
1.1.0, that's C<0x10100000L>.

Any version number may be given, but these numbers are
the current known major deprecation points, making them the most
meaningful:

=over 4

=item C<0x00908000L> (version 0.9.8)

=item C<0x10000000L> (version 1.0.0)

=item C<0x10100000L> (version 1.1.0)

=back

For convenience, higher numbers are accepted as well, as long as
feasible.  For example, C<0x60000000L> will work as expected.
However, it is recommended to start using the second form instead:

=item C<mmnnpp>

This form is a simple decimal number calculated with this formula:

I<major> * 10000 + I<minor> * 100 + I<patch>

where I<major>, I<minor> and I<patch> are the desired major,
minor and patch components of the version number.  For example:

=over 4

=item 30000 corresponds to version 3.0.0

=item 10002 corresponds to version 1.0.2

=item 420101 corresponds to version 42.1.1

=back

If not set, this macro will default to
C<{- join('', map { my @x = split /=/,$_; $x[1] }
              grep /^OPENSSL_CONFIGURED_API=/, @{$config{openssl_api_defines} // []})
     || '0x00000000L'
  -}>.

=item B<OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED>

If this macro is defined, all deprecated public symbols in all OpenSSL
versions up to and including the version given by B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT>
will be hidden.
