[openssl-users] ASN1 & Recursive Structures definition

[Dr. Pala]

Hi Richard, all,

I tried to do the forward declaration also for the TEST_SIGNATURE 
together with the TEST one, but that did not really work :( It is still 
complaining about the use of 'sizeof' on an incomplete type. In 
particular, the two errors are:

    src/ocspv2/****: error: use of undeclared identifier 'TEST_it'
    ASN1_EXP_SEQUENCE_OF_OPT(TEST_TBS, otherTests, TEST, 5),
    ^

    and

    src/ocspv2/****: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to an
    incomplete type 'const ASN1_TEMPLATE []'
    } ASN1_SEQUENCE_END(TEST_TBS)
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess I need to checkout the macros a bit more.. :D

Question: does anybody know if  there is any other structure already 
implemented in OpenSSL that resembles the one I am trying to do here? I 
tried to look for something similar, but no success.. :D

If there is no easy answer, I guess I will have to either change the 
envisioned approach (maybe introducing an intermediate data structure of 
some kind..?) or use the ASN1_ANY approach.

Cheers,
Max
