[openssl-users] Return type of SSL_ctrl

[Ludwig, Mark]

Greetings,

We're moving up to OpenSSL 1.0.2j from OpenSSL 0.9.8<something>, and noticed that the SSL 
functions based on SSL_ctrl() changed from returning type int to returning type long.

It's not clear why this is necessary, by spot-checking the documented numerical domain of the 
return values of the SSL functions (macros) deriving from SSL_ctrl().  Why was this done?

(I don't see mention of this in the CHANGES file.)

Thanks,

Mark Ludwig
