X509_NAME_print_ex() is the newer version but its rather complex to handle all manner of issues. Anyway what you need to do is to use the X509_NAME functions to extract the CN. An example of their use appears in crypto/x509v3/v3_utl.c in the function get_email which handles email. However for a CN you'll get back an ASN1_STRING structure which will usually be a simple string type like PrintableString but may be a multi character type like BMPString or UTF8String.
