sk_X509_OBJECT_num()

[Dave Coombs]

Hi,

They're macros, defined in SKM_DEFINE_STACK_OF() in safestack.h.  If you DEFINE_STACK_OF(Foo), you'll automatically end up with a sk_Foo_num() macro.

Cheers,
  -Dave

I was sort of doing an audit of my code, evaluating the API calls that have changed vs not changed when I noticed these functions. I searched for them in the 1.1.1 source. They don't exist, except where called in x509_lu.c. In the 1.0.2 code base, they are called in the same file, as well as are defined in a header, /include/openssl/safestack.h.
