Narrow BIO_read and BIO_write error values Instead of returning arbitrary negative values, always return -1, even if the callback returns an arbitrary value. Also BIO_write should return -1, not 0, on error. (BIO_read returns 0 to signal EOF, not error, so that one is left alone.) This is in preparation for BIO_read_ex and BIO_write_ex, which are unable to return such arbitrary values. Update-Note: BIO_read and BIO_write now each only have one error return. Test runs suggest no code is relying on the distinction between all the different return values for error.

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.
Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.
Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.
BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.
Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
