[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#803877: /usr/include/boost/asio/ssl.hpp: compile error in asio's ssl.hpp

[Florian Sowade]

Package: libboost1.58-dev
Version: 1.58.0+dfsg-3.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/include/boost/asio/ssl.hpp

Dear Maintainer,

compiling a simple test program which includes <boost/asio/ssl.hpp> failes
since openssl removed support for SSLv3 in version 1.0.2d-2:

# cat test.cpp
#include <boost/asio/ssl.hpp>

int main() {}
# g++ test.cpp
In file included from /usr/include/boost/asio/ssl/context.hpp:786:0,
                 from /usr/include/boost/asio/ssl.hpp:19,
                 from test.cpp:1:
/usr/include/boost/asio/ssl/impl/context.ipp: In constructor 'boost::asio::ssl::context::context(boost::asio::ssl::context_base::method)':
/usr/include/boost/asio/ssl/impl/context.ipp:93:29: error: '::SSLv3_method' has not been declared
     handle_ = ::SSL_CTX_new(::SSLv3_method());
                             ^
/usr/include/boost/asio/ssl/impl/context.ipp:96:29: error: '::SSLv3_client_method' has not been declared
     handle_ = ::SSL_CTX_new(::SSLv3_client_method());
                             ^
/usr/include/boost/asio/ssl/impl/context.ipp:99:29: error: '::SSLv3_server_method' has not been declared
     handle_ = ::SSL_CTX_new(::SSLv3_server_method());
                             ^

There exists a pull request which fixes the problem
(https://github.com/boostorg/asio/pull/23) but it has not been merged, yet.

Best regards,
Florian Sowade
