<graphitemaster> this is just lovely libssl/src/crypto/sha/asm/sha1-586.pl
<graphitemaster> they managed to mix two of the most ugliest things imaginable
<graphitemaster> perl and inline assembly
<graphitemaster> > using perl as an assembler
<graphitemaster> at least it's not perl 6 :P
<dalias> :)
<nsz> oh you just found the openssl perl-asm hack?
<nsz> it can be disabled though..
<chris2> i thought libressl killed that shit
<graphitemaster> all it's missing is m4 macros
<chris2> haha
<nedko> :)
<dalias> :)
<dalias> iirc the asm in openssl is not even valid for shared libs; it's full of textrels
<Shiz> thanks
<Shiz> now i feel like crying
