What's the obstacle to a global variable that is initialized once and
never changes? You also only need to call:
SSL_load_error_strings();
OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms();
once, ... so there needs to be some once-only code in your
application,
and setting a write-once global there does not seem burdensome.
It is a showstopper for many asynchronous applications, where the same
process attempts to keep track of multiple contexts in parallel. The
lack of a callback makes this very difficult.
