Build with -fno-exceptions standalone. This serves two purposes: 1. Make sure we don't accidentally write "throw" or "catch" in our code. 2. If a C project statically links to our libssl.a, they'll use gcc rather than g++ as the linker which does not pull in the C++ runtime. -fno-exceptions cuts out the C++ runtime dependency. (Though we will need to give up on this should we attempt to allow a runtime dependency in the future.) Bug: 132 Change-Id: I9fc81f034833ec9ed38b98d98df7b45c32cfa30c Reviewed-on: https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/18084 Reviewed-by: Steven Valdez <svaldez@google.com> Commit-Queue: David Benjamin <davidben@google.com> CQ-Verified: CQ bot account: commit-bot@chromium.org <commit-bot@chromium.org>
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.
