8=head1 DESCRIPTION
9
10User defined macros allow the programmer to control certain aspects of
11what is exposed by the OpenSSL headers.
12
13B<NOTE:> to be effective, a user defined macro I<must be defined
14before including any header file that depends on it>, either in the
15compilation command (C<cc -DMACRO=value>) or by defining the macro in
16source before including any headers.
17
18Other manual pages may refer to this page when declarations depend on
19user defined macros.
20
21=head2 The macros
22
23=over 4
24
25=item B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT>
26
27The value is a version number, given in one of the following two forms:
28
29=over 4
30
31=item C<0xMNNFF000L>
32
33This is the form supported for all versions up to 1.1.x, where C<M>
34represents the major number, C<NN> represents the minor number, and
35C<FF> represents the fix number, as a hexadecimal number.  For version
361.1.0, that's C<0x10100000L>.
37
38Any version number may be given, but these numbers are
39the current known major deprecation points, making them the most
40meaningful:
41
42=over 4
43
44=item C<0x00908000L> (version 0.9.8)
45
46=item C<0x10000000L> (version 1.0.0)
47
48=item C<0x10100000L> (version 1.1.0)
49
50=back
51
52For convenience, higher numbers are accepted as well, as long as
53feasible.  For example, C<0x60000000L> will work as expected.
54However, it is recommended to start using the second form instead:
55
56=item C<mmnnpp>
57
58This form is a simple decimal number calculated with this formula:
59
60I<major> * 10000 + I<minor> * 100 + I<patch>
61
62where I<major>, I<minor> and I<patch> are the desired major,
63minor and patch components of the version number.  For example:
64
65=over 4
66
67=item 30000 corresponds to version 3.0.0
68
69=item 10002 corresponds to version 1.0.2
70
71=item 420101 corresponds to version 42.1.1
72
73=back
74
75=back
76
77If B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> is undefined, this default value is used in its
78place:
79C<{- join('', map { my @x = split /=/,$_; $x[1] }
80              grep /^OPENSSL_CONFIGURED_API=/, @{$config{openssl_api_defines} // []})
81     || '0x00000000L'
82  -}>
83
84=item B<OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED>
85
86If this macro is defined, all deprecated public symbols in all OpenSSL
87versions up to and including the version given by B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT>
88(or the default value given above, when B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> isn't defined)
89will be hidden.
