Subject: Fix BN_DEBUG: ossl_assert() → assert()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a06897df7788a5163f1c39b3759e64cd9b62225c;p=thirdparty%2Fopenssl.git

Fix BN_DEBUG: ossl_assert() → assert()

ossl_assert() has been modified so much that it no longer fits the
purpose of bn_check_top() when BN_DEBUG is defined in a debug build,
which is to abort and tell where the BIGNUM is inconsistent.  This
is by design.

This has remained undiscovered because no one has tried BN_DEBUG
for quite a while.

Assertions in bn_check_top() are also rearranged to better show what
the actual problem is.
