We put almost everything in these internal static libraries:
libcommon Block building code that can be used by all
our implementations, legacy and non-legacy
alike.
libimplementations All non-legacy algorithm implementations and
only them. All the code that ends up here is
agnostic to the definitions of FIPS_MODE.
liblegacy All legacy implementations.
libnonfips Support code for the algorithm implementations.
Built with FIPS_MODE undefined. Any code that
checks that FIPS_MODE isn't defined must end
up in this library.
libfips Support code for the algorithm implementations.
Built with FIPS_MODE defined. Any code that
checks that FIPS_MODE is defined must end up
in this library.
The FIPS provider module is built from providers/fips/*.c and linked
with libimplementations, libcommon and libfips.
The Legacy provider module is built from providers/legacy/*.c and
linked with liblegacy, libcommon and libcrypto.
If module building is disabled, the object files from liblegacy and
libcommon are added to libcrypto and the Legacy provider becomes a
built-in provider.
The Default provider module is built-in, so it ends up being linked
with libimplementations, libcommon and libnonfips. For libcrypto in
form of static library, the object files from those other libraries
are simply being added to libcrypto.
