For the interop tests exercising basic 'git daemon' functionality, we
use version v1.0.0 as the old version of Git (which in this test we
happen to designate with using VERSION_B).

But that version does not compile with modern versions of OpenSSL,
complaining with error messages like:

    epoch.c:21:16: error: field ‘numerator’ has incomplete type
       21 |         BIGNUM numerator;
          |                ^~~~~~~~~
    epoch.c:22:16: error: field ‘denominator’ has incomplete type
       22 |         BIGNUM denominator;
          |                ^~~~~~~~~~~
    epoch.c: In function ‘new_zero’:

Of course, compiling with `NO_OPENSSL=1`, which we have had since
dd53c7ab297 ([PATCH] Support for NO_OPENSSL, 2005-07-29) allows us to
compile cleanly.

This hasn't been such a problem in practice because most builds can use
NO_OPENSSL when compiling the older versions of Git used by the interop
tests, because often even the current version of Git does not use
OpenSSL (e.g., because we use the collision detecting implementation of
SHA-1).

But subsequent changes will make a build configuration that does use
OpenSSL's SHA-1 implementation (at least for non-cryptographic uses)
more common, thus breaking this interop build (since only one side will
compile with NO_OPENSSL).

Let's work around the issue by using a slightly more modern, but still
quite old v1.6.6.3, which is used by the i0000-basic.sh test script as
well.

So I know I shouldn't care that much about which ancient version the
interop tests are using. But it feels like we should be able to provide
the tools to make this work.

How about this instead?

Subject: [PATCH] t/interop: allow per-version make options

Building older versions of Git may require tweaking some build knobs. In
particular, very old versions of Git will fail to build with recent
OpenSSL, because the bignum type switched from a struct to a pointer.

The i5500 interop test uses Git v1.0.0 by default, which triggers this
problem. You can work around it by setting NO_OPENSSL in your
GIT_TEST_MAKE_OPTS variable. But there are two downsides:

  1. You have to know to do this, and it's not at all obvious.

  2. That sets the options for _all_ versions of Git that we build. And
     it's possible for two versions to require conflicting knobs. E.g.,
     building with "make NO_OPENSSL=Nope OPENSSL_SHA1=Yes" causes
     imap-send.c to barf, because it declares a fallback typdef for SSL.
     This is something we may want to fix, but of course many historical
     versions are affected, and the interop scripts should be flexible
     enough to build everything.

So let's introduce per-version make options, along with the ability for
scripts to specify knobs that match their default versions. That should
make everything build out of the box, but also allow testers flexibility
if they are testing interoperability between non-default versions.

We'll set NO_OPENSSL by default for v1.0.0 in i5500. It doesn't have to
worry about the conflict with OPENSSL_SHA1 because imap-send did not
exist back then (but if it did, it could also just explicitly use a
different hash implementation).

And here's the fix to make this combo work (and likewise, the "fast"
variant). We'd still want the interop fix for the reasons given above,
but it feels like one less gotcha for people to hit if they are using
OPENSSL_SHA1_FAST.

Subject: [PATCH] imap-send: handle NO_OPENSSL even when openssl exists

If NO_OPENSSL is defined, then imap-send.c defines a fallback "SSL"
type, which is just a void pointer that remains NULL. This works, but it
has one problem: it is using the type name "SSL", which conflicts with
the upstream name, if some other part of the system happens to include
openssl. For example:

  $ make NO_OPENSSL=Nope OPENSSL_SHA1=Yes imap-send.o
      CC imap-send.o
  imap-send.c:35:15: error: conflicting types for ‘SSL’; have ‘void *’
     35 | typedef void *SSL;
        |               ^~~
  In file included from /usr/include/openssl/evp.h:26,
                   from sha1/openssl.h:4,
                   from hash.h:10,
                   from object.h:4,
                   from commit.h:4,
                   from refs.h:4,
                   from setup.h:4,
                   from imap-send.c:32:
  /usr/include/openssl/types.h:187:23: note: previous declaration of ‘SSL’ with type ‘SSL’ {aka ‘struct ssl_st’}
    187 | typedef struct ssl_st SSL;
        |                       ^~~
  make: *** [Makefile:2761: imap-send.o] Error 1

This is not a terribly common combination in practice:

  1. Why are we disabling openssl support but still using its sha1? The
     answer is that you may use the same build options across many
     versions, and some older versions of Git no longer build with
     modern versions of openssl.

  2. Why are we using a totally unsafe sha1 that does not detect
     collisions? You're right, we shouldn't. But in preparation for
     using unsafe sha1 for non-cryptographic checksums, it would be nice
     to be able to turn it on without hassle.

We can make this work by adjusting the way imap-send handles its
fallback. One solution is something like this:

  #ifdef NO_OPENSSL
  #define git_SSL void *
  #else
  #define git_SSL SSL
  #endif

But we can observe that we only need this definition in one spot: the
struct which holds the variable. So rather than play around with macros
that may cause unexpected effects, we can just directly use the correct
type in that struct.

The build options should be simple enough and this should do for now
(and when it becomes needed, it is easy to add an eval around it).

The use of $GIT_INTEROP_MAKE_OPTS here looks a bit curious.  It
overrides what the inidividual script gave in MAKE_OPTS_{A,B} and
what is globally given in GIT_INTEROP_MAKE_OPTS_{A,B}.

With this design, the following is not what we should write:

    # by default we use the frotz feature
    GIT_INTEROP_MAKE_OPTS=USE_FROTZ=YesPlease
    # but version A is too old for it
    MAKE_OPTS_A=USE_FROTZ=NoThanks
    # we do not need any cutomization for version B
    MAKE_OPTS_B=

Rather we would want to say:

    # the default should say nothing conflicting with A or B
    GIT_INTEROP_MAKE_OPTS=
    # version A is too old to use the frotz feature
    MAKE_OPTS_A=USE_FROTZ=NoThanks
    # version B is OK
    MAKE_OPTS_B=USE_FROTZ=YesPlease

As long as it is understood that GIT_INTEROP_MAKE_OPTS and *_{A,B}
are *not* meant to be used in a way for one to give default and the
other to override the defautl, but they are to give orthogonal
settings, this is fine.

Among the variables we see around here, GIT_INEROP_MAKE_OPTS
is the only one that is recorded in the GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file,
which is included in t/interop/interop-lib.sh file.  Shouldn't
we record GIT_INEROP_MAKE_OPTS_{A,B} as well?

Yes, there are really three levels: what your platform needs for every
version, what the script asks about for its specific version, and what
you override for that specific version. So arguably the "best" order is:

  MAKE_OPTS_A < GIT_INTEROP_MAKE_OPTS < GIT_INTEROP_MAKE_OPTS_A

which always puts your preferences in front of the script's defaults,
but still lets you do a per-script override. But it didn't seem worth
the complexity to implement that. I mostly left GIT_INTEROP_MAKE_OPTS_A
as an escape hatch if you are testing an alternate version from what's
in the script, and I doubt anybody will need it at all (in all these
years I have only used it to set NO_OPENSSL for this exact case, and
judging by the lack of other people mentioning this issue I suspect
hardly anybody else has ever even run these tests).

No, I don't think that would make sense. Everything in
GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS, including GIT_INTEROP_MAKE_OPTS, is going to apply to
_all_ scripts. These _A and _B variants will vary based on individual
scripts. It's possible you might try to run the whole suite between two
specific versions, but then you'd set up GIT_INTEROP_MAKE_OPTS_{A,B} in
the environment (as you already have to do for VERSION_{A,B}).
