File ext/openssl/ossl.c

line 1107, in Init_openssl(): call to ossl_raise()
line 1112, in Init_openssl(): first assignment to dOSSL

ossl_raise() calls ossl_make_error().
ossl_make_error() uses the global variable dOSSL (line 310).

==> ossl_raise() was called before dOSSL was set.

This will probably never cause any misbehaviour, but
nevertheless, it's definitely a bug.

openssl: Avoid reference to unset global variable in Init_openssl()

• ext/openssl/ossl.c (Init_openssl): Avoid reference to unset global
  variable. ossl_raise() may be called before dOSSL is set. Since
  global variables default to 0 and the default value of dOSSL set in
  Init_openssl() is also Qfalse, there is no real issue but confusing.
