Can do. I have added this:
+ /* The switch is ordered following RFC 6487, section 4.8. */
switch (nid = OBJ_obj2nid(obj)) {
case NID_basic_constraints:
if (bc++ > 0)
I am working on refactoring, merging and streamlining the logic of
cert_parse_ee_cert() (which is way too lax) and cert_parse_pre() (which
is about as strict as it can be but messy since it grew organically).
Last baby step for this: make counters match.
We could drop the initialization for the nid to appease some tooling
but I'm sure it will upset some other tools, so I left it.
