Hi Eric,

 

My requirement is a minimum c99 version so that OpenSSL can be built on older systems. We are planning to move to c11 around the October 2025 timeframe. Unfortunately, this is not a choice I can control, given compiler availability on the HPE NonStop platform – which is a very active environment.

 

Regards,

Randall

Subject: Minimum compiler version?

 

I'm looking into contributing my RISCV Vector implementation of poly1305 [1] to openssl. It would need to be rewritten to conform to openssl's internal asm API. I see that most of the simd implementations are in perlasm. Could I contribute a RISCV implementation in C using the newish vector compiler intrinsics [2]? These are supported by gcc 14 and clang 17. I can't find any documented minimum compiler versions for the project as a whole, or for RISCV in particular.

 

Can openssl use features from newer compilers, or otherwise gate this implementation at build time?

 

-Eric
