Summary
The ASN1_STRING structure can no longer be accessed
directly. Instead,
accessor functions must be used.
While these accessor functions have been available since OpenSSL
1.0.1, this change is being made now to enable future work improving
X509 memory efficiency. Requiring accessor functions will allow ASN1
strings to be stored as pointers to data in read only memory instead
of making duplicate copies.
