5.7.4

Description

When linking a binary with both openssl and wolfssl I get the following linkage error:

ld.lld: error: duplicate symbol: ERR_load_SSL_strings
>>> defined at ssl_err.c:1278 (src/ssl/ssl_err.c:1278)
>>>            ssl_err.c.pic.o:(ERR_load_SSL_strings) in archive openssl/___ssl__/lib_ssl.pic.a
>>> defined at ssl.c:16468 (./wolfssl/src/ssl.c:16468)
>>>            ssl.c.pic.o:(.text.ERR_load_SSL_strings+0x0) in archive wolfssl/__wolfssl__/libwolfssl.pic.a
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Hi @alexsn . We've recently (post-5.7.4) refactored the library namespace to fix this and many other such conflicts, and indeed we've expanded the scope of conflict-free coexistence to allow --enable-opensslextra --enable-opensslcoexist.

Please try the master branch of libwolfssl -- we'd appreciate feedback on the refactor. Thanks!
