[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #3868] [PATCH] Add SSL_get0_peer_certificate()

[Short, Todd via RT]

Not strictly necessary; mostly convenience. Decrementing the pointer usually requires doing the corresponding  free, which really shouldn’t do anything but decrement the refcount if you just got it.

Is this needed? Can your get0 function just call get and decrement the
refcount?
