Issues:

Description of changes:

  • AWS-LC contains optimized assembly language implementations for many primitive cryptographic operations. As a fall-back, these operations also have a C-implementation provided.
  • For most platforms, CMake correctly detects whether/which assembly files should be built. However, CMake's detection is sometimes inadequate or the build environment lacks an assembler (such as NASM), and the OPENSSL_NO_ASM flag must be passed to avoid build failures.
  • The OPENSSL_NO_ASM flag may also be useful for debugging failing cryptographic operations.

Call-outs:

  • The C-implementations are significantly slower than their assembly-language counterparts.
  • The OPENSSL_NO_ASM flag is only allowed for un-optimized/debug builds.

Testing:

  • Updated CI.
